Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an antenna assembly and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In smart electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and wearable devices, antennas are crucial components for signal transmission. As users continuously demand higher performance from electronic devices, the types of antennas integrated into these devices are becoming increasingly diverse.

[0003] Taking a mobile phone as an example, an electronic device can include a frame, a back cover, and a display screen. Along the thickness direction of the electronic device, the back cover and the display screen are located on opposite sides of the frame. The frame, back cover, and display screen form a cavity, within which a main control board can be housed. Currently, most electronic devices use a metal frame, which also functions as an antenna. This metal frame antenna can be electrically connected to the main control board located within the cavity. For example, during communication, the metal frame antenna can receive signals from the base station and transmit them to the main control board, or vice versa.

[0004] However, due to the limitations of the size and layout of the metal frame, as the number and types of antennas required on electronic devices increase, the mutual influence between antennas is significant, resulting in poor isolation and low layout flexibility. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the problems existing in the related technologies, this disclosure provides an antenna assembly and an electronic device.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, an antenna assembly is provided, including a decorative element, a radiating slot, and a feeding structure. The decorative element includes a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion. The first mounting portion has a light-transmitting structure for exposing a camera of an electronic device. The second mounting portion is disposed around the first mounting portion and protrudes from one side of the first mounting portion along a first direction, forming a receiving space. The radiating slot is formed on the second mounting portion and extends through the second mounting portion along a second direction, which intersects the first direction.

[0007] The power supply structure is located on the side of the second assembly section facing the receiving space. The power supply structure is spaced apart from the decorative parts and is used to couple power to the radial gap.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the antenna assembly further includes a grounding structure located on the side of the second assembly facing the receiving space. The grounding structure is disposed adjacent to the feed structure, and along the second direction, the distance from the grounding structure to the radiating slot is greater than or equal to the distance from the feed structure to the radiating slot.

[0009] The grounding structure is electrically connected to the decorative parts, and the current direction on the grounding structure is opposite to the current direction on the power supply structure.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the radial slit includes two opposite ends along a third direction, wherein the third direction, the second direction, and the first direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0011] Moving upwards along the third direction, in the grounding structure and the power supply structure, the grounding structure is positioned closer to one end of the radiation gap.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the connection between the grounding structure and the power supply structure is set at an angle to a third direction, with the angle ranging from 0° to 60°.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the straight-line distance between the grounding structure and the power supply structure ranges from 0.02λ to 0.04λ, where λ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave radiated by the radiating slot.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the distance between the feeding structure and the radiating slot along the second direction ranges from 0.01λ to 0.02λ, where λ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave radiated by the radiating slot.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the antenna assembly also includes a dielectric structure, with dielectric structures filling the spaces between the feed structure and the decorative element, and between the feed structure and the ground structure.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the antenna assembly also includes a circuit board disposed on the side of the second assembly part away from the first assembly part, and the feeding structure and grounding structure are electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the antenna assembly further includes a first elastic connector and a second elastic connector, with the feeding structure electrically connected to the circuit board via the first elastic connector and the grounding structure electrically connected to the circuit board via the second elastic connector.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the second assembly includes opposing first and second segments, with the first segment positioned between the first assembly and the bottom of the electronic device, and the second segment positioned between the first assembly and the top of the electronic device, and at least the first segment having a radial gap.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the shape of the radiating slit includes a rectangle, with the long side of the radiating slit extending in a third direction.

[0020] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, an electronic device is provided, including a camera and any of the above-described antenna components, wherein the camera and the light-transmitting structure of the decorative element of the antenna component are opposite each other.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the electronic device further includes a housing with a receiving cavity, in which the camera is at least partially located, and the housing has a mounting through hole communicating with the receiving cavity, with the camera opposite to the mounting through hole.

[0022] At least a portion of the decorative element protrudes from the outside of the housing and covers the mounting through-hole, and at least a portion of the radiating slot of the antenna assembly is located on the outside of the housing.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the housing includes opposing bottom and top ends, with the camera positioned adjacent to the top end of the housing, and a first segment of the decorative element located between the camera and the bottom end of the housing.

[0024] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The antenna assembly and electronic device disclosed herein include an antenna assembly comprising a decorative element, a radiating slot, and a feeding structure. A second mounting portion of the decorative element surrounds a first mounting portion and protrudes from the first mounting portion along a first direction (e.g., the thickness direction). The first mounting portion has a light-transmitting structure for exposing a camera. The radiating slot is located on the second mounting portion, and the feeding structure is positioned adjacent to the radiating slot, with the feeding structure and the decorative element spaced apart. The feeding structure can couple power to the radiating slot, achieving the communication performance of the antenna assembly. By placing the radiating slot on the second mounting portion of the decorative element, the internal space of the decorative element is fully utilized, and the location area of ​​the light-transmitting structure is not required. This enriches the layout positions of the antenna assembly, improves layout flexibility, and utilizes the decorative element to form the antenna assembly, which is farther from the frame antenna of the electronic device housing, thus improving the isolation between antenna assemblies. Furthermore, the feeding structure feeds the radiating slot through coupling feeding, making the radiating slot equivalent to a magnetic current source. The antenna assembly can be constructed as a magnetic current-based antenna, which is different from the feeding type of antenna assemblies formed by the frame, flexible circuit board, etc. of electronic devices. This naturally provides good isolation between the antenna assembly provided in this embodiment and other antenna assemblies in electronic devices, further improving the isolation between antenna assemblies and solving the problems of low layout flexibility and poor isolation of antenna assemblies in electronic devices.

[0042] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of an electronic device according to some embodiments of this disclosure. For example... Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the electronic device 100 is a mobile phone as an example for illustration.

[0043] See Figure 1As shown, the electronic device 100 may include a housing 101, which can serve as the main load-bearing structural component of the electronic device 100. The housing 101 may have a receiving cavity (not shown in the figure) inside, which can be used to assemble various structural components of the electronic device 100. The side of the housing 101 facing the receiving cavity can be the inner side of the housing 101, and the side of the housing 101 away from the receiving cavity can be the outer side of the housing 101.

[0044] The electronic device 100 may also include a display screen (not shown in the figure). The display screen may be disposed on one side of the housing 101, and the display screen may enclose the receiving cavity of the housing 101 to isolate and protect the various structural components within the receiving cavity. The display screen may be used to display information and may also provide an interactive interface for the user. The side of the display screen facing away from the receiving cavity may serve as the display surface.

[0045] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the housing 101 may include a frame 112 and a rear cover 111, with the frame 112 surrounding one side of the rear cover 111. The frame 112 may be an annular frame structure, and the rear cover 111 may be a rectangular plate structure.

[0046] Of course, in some other embodiments of this disclosure, the back cover 111 may also be a plate-like structure in the shape of a square, circle, ellipse, rounded rectangle, etc. The shape of the frame 112 may match the shape of the back cover 111.

[0047] In the embodiments of this disclosure, for ease of description, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the width direction of the housing 101 can be the x-direction, the length direction of the housing 101 can be the y-direction, and the thickness direction of the housing 101 can be the z-direction. The width, length, and thickness directions of the electronic device 100 can be consistent with the x, y, and z directions mentioned above, respectively. It is understood that the length, width, and thickness in the embodiments of this disclosure are for descriptive convenience only and do not imply any limitation on the dimensions. For example, the length can be greater than, equal to, or less than the width.

[0048] The display screen can be located on the side of the bezel 112 facing away from the back cover 111. The display screen and the back cover 111 are respectively fixed on opposite sides of the bezel 112. For example, the display screen and the back cover 111 can be located on opposite sides of the bezel 112 along the thickness direction (z direction).

[0049] The display surface of the screen in the electronic device 100 can be considered as the front of the electronic device 100, and the side of the back cover 111 facing away from the screen can be considered as the back of the back cover 111, or it can be considered as the back of the entire electronic device 100. The thickness direction (z-direction) of the electronic device 100 can be approximately perpendicular to the display surface of the screen and the back of the back cover 111.

[0050] The back cover 111 and the frame 112 can be integrally formed, making the housing 101 a one-piece structural component. Alternatively, the back cover 111 and the frame 112 can be formed separately, and the back cover 111 and the frame 112 can be fixedly assembled together by welding, snap-fitting, bonding or other methods to form the housing 101.

[0051] A mounting through hole (not shown in the figure) may be provided on one side wall of the housing 101. For example, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the rear cover 111 may have a mounting through hole 1111 (see Figure 1111). Figure 2 As shown, the mounting through hole 1111 can be a through hole structure that penetrates the rear cover 111, and the mounting through hole 1111 communicates with the receiving cavity inside the housing 101. The mounting through hole 1111 can meet the assembly requirements of the functional modules in the electronic device 100.

[0052] For example, see continue. Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device 100 may also include a camera 102, which is used to perform functions such as taking pictures. At least a portion of the camera 102 may be located within the receiving cavity of the housing 101.

[0053] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the camera 102 may be located entirely within the receiving cavity, and the light inlet of the camera 102 may be opposite to the mounting through hole on the rear cover 111, so that light can be irradiated into the camera 102 through the mounting through hole on the rear cover 111.

[0054] Alternatively, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the camera 102 may be partially located inside the receiving cavity, and a portion of the camera 102 may extend outside the receiving cavity through a mounting through-hole on the rear cover 111, so that light can illuminate the camera 102.

[0055] The number of cameras 102 can be one, or the number of cameras 102 can be multiple, to meet various shooting needs. In embodiments with multiple cameras 102, the multiple cameras 102 can be integrated into a camera assembly, which can be assembled as a whole through mounting holes.

[0056] Of course, in some other embodiments of this disclosure, the above-mentioned mounting through hole can be opened on the display screen, the camera 102 can be located in the receiving cavity, and the light inlet of the camera 102 can face the mounting through hole on the display screen so that light can be irradiated into the camera 102 through the mounting through hole on the display screen.

[0057] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the disassembled structure of an electronic device housing and decorative parts according to some embodiments of this disclosure. Figure 2 The internal structural components of the housing 101, such as the camera, are not shown.

[0058] In some embodiments of this disclosure, combined with Figure 2 As shown, taking the mounting through hole 1111 on the back cover 111 of the housing 101 as an example, the electronic device 100 may also include a decorative part 10, which is mounted on the back cover 111 of the housing 101 and can cover the mounting through hole 1111. The decorative part 10 can play a decorative and protective role for the mounting through hole 1111 and the camera, etc., and improve the aesthetics of the entire back cover 111.

[0059] The decorative element 10 has a light-transmitting structure 10a, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the light-transmitting structure 10a can be opposite to the camera 102 to ensure that light can shine onto the camera 102.

[0060] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the light-transmitting structure 10a can be a through-hole structure, such that the through-hole structure can penetrate the decorative member 10 in the thickness direction (z direction), and the camera 102 can be installed on the light-transmitting structure 10a, that is, part of the camera 102 can be installed through the light-transmitting structure 10a of the decorative member 10.

[0061] The electronic device 100 may also include a light-transmitting protective cover, such as light-transmitting glass or light-transmitting plastic. The protective cover may be disposed on the decorative part 10, and at least a portion of the protective cover may be located on the side of the camera 102 facing away from the receiving cavity, so that the protective cover can protect the camera 102.

[0062] Alternatively, in some embodiments of this disclosure, a portion of the decorative element 10 may form a light-transmitting structure 10a, and this portion of the decorative element 10 may be located on the side of the camera 102 facing away from the receiving cavity, thereby protecting the camera 102.

[0063] For example, a portion of the decorative element 10 can be fixedly mounted within the mounting through hole, and at least a portion of the camera 102 can be located within the receiving space enclosed by the decorative element 10. A portion of the decorative element 10 can extend beyond the mounting through hole, and a portion of the decorative element 10 can protrude from the outside of the housing 101 (the side facing away from the receiving cavity), that is, a portion of the decorative element 10 protrudes from the back of the rear cover 111, so that the thickness of the electronic device 100 at the location of the camera 102 is higher than the thickness at other locations. While meeting the overall thinning requirements, the space used to accommodate the camera 102 can be increased, which is beneficial to improving the performance of the camera 102.

[0064] The electronic device 100 may also include a main control board (not shown in the figure), which may be disposed within the receiving cavity 101 of the housing. In some embodiments of this disclosure, the main control board may include a processor, a controller, a memory, etc., and the operation and various functions of the electronic device 100 can be controlled through the main control board. For example, the camera 102, the display screen, etc., may be electrically connected to the main control board to control the operation of the camera 102, the display screen, etc.

[0065] The electronic device 100 may also include an antenna assembly (not shown) for enabling wireless communication between the electronic device 100 and other devices.

[0066] The antenna assembly may include a feed and an antenna. In some embodiments, the feed may be a chip, and the feed may be disposed within the receiving cavity of the housing 101, such as on a main control board. The feed is used to output and receive electrical signals, and the antenna is used to convert the electrical signals output by the feed into electromagnetic wave signals for radiation. Alternatively, the antenna may also be used to convert the received electromagnetic wave signals into electrical signals and transmit them back to the feed.

[0067] The electronic device 100 may include one antenna assembly or multiple antenna assemblies.

[0068] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the frame 112 of the housing 101 can be a metal part, so that the frame 112 can serve as an antenna. The frame 112 can be electrically connected to the main control board inside the housing cavity, and the feed on the main control board can feed power to the frame, thereby radiating signals through the frame antenna.

[0069] At least a portion of the decorative element 10 on the housing 101 may also be a metal element to form an antenna on the decorative element 10. In some embodiments of this disclosure, the electronic device 100 may also include an antenna assembly formed by other structural elements, such as a flexible circuit board or other structural elements within the housing cavity of the electronic device 100.

[0070] The following example illustrates the structural composition of an antenna assembly that forms an antenna on the decorative element 10.

[0071] The antenna assembly includes decorative element 10, exemplary of which can be found further. Figure 2 As shown, the decorative component 10 may include a first mounting portion 11 and a second mounting portion 12, which are fixedly connected together. The first mounting portion 11 primarily covers the mounting through-hole 1111 on the back cover 111. For example, along the thickness direction (z-direction) of the electronic device 100, the first mounting portion 11 may be located on the side of the mounting through-hole 1111 facing away from the internal cavity of the housing 101, and the first mounting portion 11 may cover at least a portion of the mounting through-hole 1111. A light-transmitting structure 10a is provided on the first mounting portion 11.

[0072] The second assembly part 12 can be arranged around the first assembly part 11. For example, the first assembly part 11 can be a plate-like structure, and the second assembly part 12 can be a ring-like structure. The second assembly part 12 can be arranged around the outer periphery of the first assembly part 11.

[0073] The outer contour shape of the first assembly part 11 and the outer contour shape of the second assembly part 12 are matched. For example, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the outer contour shapes of the first assembly part 11 and the second assembly part 12 can both be rectangular. For example, the first assembly part 11 can be a rectangular flat plate structure, and the second assembly part 12 can be a rectangular ring, so that the entire decorative part 10 can be a rectangular frame structure.

[0074] Of course, in some other embodiments of this disclosure, the outer contour shape of the first assembly part 11 and the second assembly part 12 may also be a regular or irregular shape such as a circle, triangle, or rounded rectangle.

[0075] Figure 3 This is a partial structural cross-sectional schematic diagram of an antenna assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0076] See Figure 3 As shown, along a first direction, the second mounting portion 12 can protrude from one side of the first mounting portion 11, wherein the first direction can be aligned with the thickness direction (z-direction) of the electronic device. For example, one end of the second mounting portion 12 can be fixed to the surface of the first mounting portion 11 facing the receiving cavity of the electronic device, and the other end of the second mounting portion 12 can extend into the receiving cavity along the thickness direction (z-direction), making the second mounting portion 12 a ring-shaped structure extending along the thickness direction (z-direction). The second mounting portion 12 and the first mounting portion 11 can form the receiving space 10b of the decorative element 10 (in combination). Figure 5 As shown, the camera 102 can be partially housed within the housing space 10b.

[0077] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the second assembly part 12 can be used to assemble the entire decorative part 10 with the rear cover 111 of the housing 101. One end of the second assembly part 12 can be fixed to the first assembly part 11, and the other end of the second assembly part 12 can be fixed to the rear cover 111 of the housing 101.

[0078] The first assembly part 11 and the second assembly part 12 can be integrally formed, making the decorative part 10 a one-piece structural component. Alternatively, the first assembly part 11 and the second assembly part 12 can be formed separately, and the first assembly part 11 and the second assembly part 12 can be connected and assembled together by means of bonding, snap-fitting, threaded connection, etc. to form the decorative part 10.

[0079] The first assembly part 11 and the second assembly part 12 can be made of the same material; for example, both the first assembly part 11 and the second assembly part 12 can be metal parts. Alternatively, the first assembly part 11 and the second assembly part 12 can be made of different materials; for example, the second assembly part 12 can be a metal part, and the first assembly part 11 can be a structural part such as glass or plastic. In this embodiment, the example is given where both the first assembly part 11 and the second assembly part 12 are metal parts.

[0080] See also Figure 3 As shown, the antenna assembly 103 also includes a radiating slot 20, which is formed on the second mounting portion 12. The radiating slot 20 can form a slotted antenna, that is, an antenna structure is formed on the second mounting portion 12 of the decorative part 10. The radiating slot 20 can penetrate the second mounting portion 12 along the second direction.

[0081] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the radiation performance of the radiating slot 20, when the antenna assembly 103 is assembled onto the housing of the electronic device, the second mounting part 12 of the decorative part 10 can be at least partially protruding from the back of the housing, so that at least part of the radiating slot 20 can protrude from the back of the back cover, ensuring that at least part of the radiating slot 20 is located on the outside of the housing.

[0082] The second direction may intersect with the first direction. In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second direction may be perpendicular to the first direction. For example, the second direction may be consistent with the width direction (x direction) of the electronic device, or the second direction may be consistent with the length direction (y direction) of the electronic device.

[0083] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the rear front view of an electronic device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0084] The radial slot 20 can be opened at any position along the circumferential direction of the second assembly part 12, which has a high degree of layout flexibility. For example, see [link to example]. Figure 4 As shown, taking a rounded rectangle as an example, the outer contour shape of the first assembly part 11 and the second assembly part 12 is used. The second assembly part 12 may include a first segment 121, a second segment 122, a third segment 123, and a fourth segment 124, wherein the first segment 121 and the second segment 122 may be arranged relative to each other, and the third segment 123 and the fourth segment 124 may be arranged relative to each other. For example, in the length direction (y direction) of the electronic device 100, the first segment 121 and the second segment 122 may be arranged relative to each other, and the third segment 123 and the fourth segment 124 may be located between the first segment 121 and the second segment 122, respectively. Similarly, in the width direction (x direction) of the electronic device 100, the third segment 123 and the fourth segment 124 may be arranged relative to each other.

[0085] The radial slot 20 can be formed on any one or more of the first segment 121, second segment 122, third segment 123, and fourth segment 124, offering high layout flexibility. For example, when the radial slot 20 is formed on the first segment 121 and / or the second segment 122, for instance... Figure 3 The diagram shows that a radial slit 20 is provided on the first segment 121, and the second direction can be consistent with the length direction (y direction). The radial slit 20 can penetrate the first segment 121 and / or the second segment 122 of the second assembly part 12 along the length direction (y direction).

[0086] See also Figure 4 As shown, when a radial slit 20 is opened on the third segment 123 and / or the fourth segment 124, the second direction can be consistent with the width direction (x direction), and the radial slit 20 can penetrate the third segment 123 and / or the fourth segment 124 of the second assembly part 12 along the width direction (x direction).

[0087] Of course, in some other embodiments of this disclosure, the second direction may not be perpendicular to the first direction, and the second direction may form an angle with the first direction that is not 90°.

[0088] It is understood that the decorative element 10 and the camera 102 can be assembled adjacent to at least one edge of the housing 101. For example, the housing 101 of the electronic device 100 may include a top end 101a and a bottom end 101b opposite each other along the length direction (y direction), and a left end 101c and a right end 101d opposite each other along the width direction (x direction). Figure 1 and Figure 2 (As shown). The decorative element 10 and the camera 102 can be mounted near the top edge 101a of the housing 101, and the decorative element 10 and the camera 102 can also be mounted near the left edge 101c of the housing 101. This positions the decorative element 10 and the camera 102 near a corner of the entire electronic device 100, such as at the upper left corner of the entire electronic device 100. This helps to improve the overall aesthetics of the electronic device 100 layout.

[0089] To facilitate the electrical connection between the camera 102 and the main control board (or circuit board) (not shown in the figure) of the electronic device 100, the main control board (or circuit board) of the electronic device 100 can be arranged in the receiving cavity of the housing 101 near the camera 102, such as the main control board can be arranged near the top 101a of the housing 101.

[0090] See also Figure 4As shown, in the first segment 121 and the second segment 122 of the decorative part 10, the first segment 121 is disposed closer to the bottom end 101b of the housing 101. The first segment 121 is located between the bottom ends 101b of the housing 101 of the first assembly part 11. The projection of the first segment 121 along the thickness direction (z direction) may not coincide with the main control board, or it may partially coincide with the edge position of the main control board. The second segment 122 is disposed closer to the top end 101a of the housing 101. The second segment 122 is located between the first assembly part 11 and the top end 101a of the housing 101.

[0091] In some embodiments of this disclosure, at least the first segment 121 may have a radiating slot 20. On the one hand, the first segment 121 is far from the frame 112 of the housing 101, which helps to ensure a high degree of isolation between the radiating slot 20 and the frame antenna. On the other hand, the first segment 121 is relatively close to the main control board, which facilitates the electrical connection between the feed structure 30 (see below) coupled with the radiating slot 20 and the feed source on the main control board (or circuit board). Moreover, the feed structure 30 occupies more space at the edge of the main control board, which is beneficial for the connection and layout of other structural components on the main control board.

[0092] For example, the radial slit 20 may be provided only on the first segment 121, or the radial slit 20 may be provided on the first segment 121, and also on one or more of the second segment 122, the third segment 123, and the fourth segment 124. The following description uses the example of the radial slit 20 being provided on the first segment 121, with the second direction consistent with the length direction (y direction).

[0093] Figure 5 This is a partial structural cross-sectional front view of an antenna assembly shown according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0094] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the antenna assembly 103 also includes a feeding structure 30, which may have conductive properties. For example, the feeding structure 30 may be a metal component, capable of transmitting electrical signals. In this embodiment, the shape of the feeding structure 30 is not limited. For example, the feeding structure 30 may be a cuboid structure, or in some other embodiments of this disclosure, the outer contour shape of the feeding structure 30 may be a cube, a column, or the like.

[0095] See Figure 5As shown, the feeding structure 30 can be disposed adjacent to the radiating slot 20, and the feeding structure 30 and the decorative element 10 are spaced apart, that is, there is a preset distance between the feeding structure 30 and the first assembly part 11 and the second assembly part 12 of the decorative element 10. The feeding structure 30 can realize coupled feeding to the radiating slot 20. For example, along the second direction (such as the y direction), at least a part of the feeding structure 30 can be located on one side of the radiating slot 20, and the electrical signal on the feeding structure 30 can form an electric field excitation. The radiating slot 20 can cut the current line that generates the electric field of the feeding structure 30, thereby exciting the radiating slot 20 to radiate electromagnetic wave signals outward, realizing the communication performance of the antenna assembly 103.

[0096] By creating the radiating slot 20 on the second mounting portion 12 of the decorative part 10, the space of the decorative part 10 can be fully utilized, enriching the layout position of the antenna assembly 103 in the electronic device 100, improving the layout flexibility of the antenna assembly 103, and facilitating the meeting of the increasing number and types of antenna assemblies 103 in the electronic device 100. Utilizing the radiating slot 20 on the decorative part 10 to form the antenna assembly 103, the antenna assembly 103 is positioned far from the edge of the electronic device housing, which increases the distance between the antenna assembly 103 and the antenna assembly formed by the edge, thus improving the isolation between antenna assemblies and mitigating the problem of poor isolation between antenna assemblies in the electronic device.

[0097] Furthermore, in the antenna assembly 103 provided in this embodiment, the feeding structure 30 and the radiating slot 20 are spaced apart. The feeding structure 30 couples and feeds the radiating slot 20, enabling the radiating slot 20 to achieve electromagnetic conversion under the electric field excitation of the feeding structure 30. The radiating slot 20 can be equivalent to a magnetic current source, and the antenna assembly 103 can be constructed as a magnetic current-based antenna. In contrast, antenna assemblies formed from the frame, flexible circuit board, etc., of electronic devices are fed directly by electrical connection between the frame and the feed source on the main control board. The different types of antenna assemblies naturally provide good isolation between the antenna assembly 103 formed by the radiating slot 20 on the decorative part 10 and other antenna assemblies 103 in the electronic device, further improving the isolation between antenna assemblies in the electronic device. Moreover, the feeding structure 30, by coupling and feeding the radiating slot 20, also has bandwidth characteristics, which helps to improve the performance of the antenna assembly 103.

[0098] Furthermore, the radial slits 20 are formed on the second assembly portion 12, which can be an annular structure extending around the first assembly portion 11 of the decorative element 10 and distributed along the thickness direction (z direction). The radial slits can be formed at any position on the annular circumference of the second assembly portion 12. Compared with forming the radial slits 20 on the first assembly portion 11 with the light-transmitting structure 10a, it is not necessary to avoid the location area of ​​the light-transmitting structure 10a, and the layout position and distribution shape of the radial slits 20 are not affected, thus providing greater design flexibility.

[0099] See also Figure 5 As shown, the feeding structure 30 can be located within the side of the second assembly 12 facing the receiving space 10b, meaning at least a portion of the feeding structure 30 can be located within the receiving space 10b. For example, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the feeding structure 30 can be entirely arranged inside the receiving space 10b of the decorative member 10. Compared to placing the feeding structure 30 outside the decorative member 10, this allows for better utilization of the space inside the decorative member 10, facilitates the layout design of the feeding structure 30, reduces the space occupied by the entire antenna assembly 103, and benefits the layout of other structural components within the receiving cavity of the electronic device 100.

[0100] It should be noted that the feeding structure 30 and the decorative element 10 are spaced apart. In some embodiments of this disclosure, the antenna assembly 103 may further include a dielectric structure (not shown in the figure). The dielectric structure can fill the gap between the feeding structure 30 and the decorative element 10. For example, the dielectric structure can be an insulating dielectric structure. On the one hand, the dielectric structure can isolate the feeding structure 30 and the decorative element 10, ensuring that there is no connection or conduction between them. On the other hand, the dielectric structure can serve to assemble and fix the feeding structure 30 and the decorative element 10, allowing them to be assembled and fixed together through the dielectric structure.

[0101] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the dielectric structure may also be filled within the radiation slit 20.

[0102] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the feed structure 30, the dielectric structure, and the decorative element 10 can be integrally formed, making the antenna assembly 103 a single integrated structural component. Alternatively, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the feed structure 30 and the decorative element 10 can be formed separately, and then the dielectric structure is used to fill the space between the feed structure 30 and the decorative element 10, thus fixing the three together.

[0103] The antenna assembly 103 may also include a circuit board 50, which may be disposed on the side of the second assembly 12 away from the first assembly 11, i.e. along the first direction (z direction). The circuit board 50 and the decorative part 10 may be distributed in sequence.

[0104] A feed source (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the circuit board 50. The feeding structure 30 can be electrically connected to the feed source on the circuit board 50 to realize the electrical signal conduction between the feeding structure 30 and the feed source. The electrical signal of the feed source on the circuit board 50 can be transmitted to the feeding structure 30 to excite the radiation slot 20 to radiate electromagnetic wave signals outward. The electromagnetic wave signals received by the radiation slot 20 can be fed back to the feeding structure 30, forming an electrical signal on the feeding structure 30 and transmitting it to the feed source on the circuit board 50.

[0105] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the power supply structure 30 may also extend partially outside the receiving space 10b of the decorative element 10 to facilitate electrical connection between the power supply structure 30 and the circuit board 50, etc.

[0106] When the antenna assembly 103 is assembled with the housing to form an electronic device, the circuit board 50 can be accommodated within the housing cavity. In some embodiments of this disclosure, the circuit board 50 can be the main control board of the electronic device 100. Alternatively, in some other embodiments of this disclosure, the circuit board 50 can be a circuit board additionally added within the housing cavity of the electronic device 100.

[0107] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when assembling the antenna assembly 103 with the housing of the electronic device, the decorative element 10, the feeding structure 30, and the circuit board 50 can be assembled together as a whole antenna assembly 103, which can be assembled with the housing. Alternatively, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the antenna assembly 103 may not include the circuit board 50; the decorative element 10, the feeding structure 30, etc., can be assembled as the antenna assembly 103, and the antenna assembly 103 and the circuit board 50 can be assembled with the housing as two independent structural components.

[0108] To achieve electrical connection between the feed structure 30 and the circuit board 50, the antenna assembly 103 may further include a first elastic connector (not shown in the figure), such as a metal spring. The end of the feed structure 30 facing away from the first assembly part 11 can be connected to the first elastic connector, which can be connected to the circuit board 50, thus achieving electrical connection between the feed structure 30 and the circuit board 50. By achieving an elastic connection between the feed structure 30 and the circuit board 50 while meeting the electrical conduction requirements of the circuit board 50, the assembly of the feed structure 30, decorative part 10, and circuit board 50 can reduce or avoid damage to the feed structure 30, circuit board 50, etc.

[0109] Of course, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the antenna assembly 103 may not include the first elastic connector. For example, in an example where the antenna assembly 103 does not include the circuit board 50, the first elastic connector may be a structural component on the circuit board 50. Alternatively, the first elastic connector, the circuit board 50, and the antenna assembly 103 may be independent structural components, each assembled with the housing of the electronic device.

[0110] Continue to combine Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the antenna assembly 103 may further include a grounding structure 40, which may have conductive properties. For example, the grounding structure 40 may be a metal component capable of electrical grounding. In the embodiments of this disclosure, the shape of the grounding structure 40 is not limited. For example, the grounding structure 40 may be a cuboid structure, or in some other embodiments of this disclosure, the grounding structure 40 may also be a cube, a column, etc.

[0111] The grounding structure 40 is located on the side of the second assembly part 12 facing the receiving space 10b of the decorative member 10, and at least a portion of the grounding structure 40 may be located within the receiving space 10b of the decorative member 10. See also Figure 5 As shown, the grounding structure 40 is set adjacent to the power supply structure 30, that is, the grounding structure 40, the power supply structure 30 and the radiation gap 20 are set close to each other to ensure the power supply effect of the power supply structure 30 on the radiation gap 20 and the grounding structure 40.

[0112] Along the second direction (e.g., the y-direction), the projections of the grounding structure 40 and the power supply structure 30 onto the second assembly 12 can at least partially overlap with the radiation gap 20. Along the second direction (e.g., the y-direction), the distance between the grounding structure 40 and the radiation gap 20 (as shown in the reference) Figures 8 to 10 The spacing d1 in the middle is greater than or equal to the spacing between the feed structure 30 and the radiation gap 20 (as shown in the reference). Figures 8 to 10 The spacing d2 in the middle. This ensures that the grounding structure 40 and the radial gap 20 are not located on the same side of the feed structure 30, and that the grounding structure 40 is not located between the radial gap 20 and the feed structure 30, thus ensuring the coupling feed effect between the feed structure 30 and the radial gap 20.

[0113] See also Figure 5 As shown, one end of the grounding structure 40 can be fixed to the decorative part 10 and electrically connected. For example, one end of the grounding structure 40 can be fixed to the first assembly part 11 by welding, snap-fitting, threading, etc., and electrically connected to the decorative part 10.

[0114] The other end of the grounding structure 40 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 50, thereby achieving grounding through the circuit board 50. For example... Figure 5As shown, under the influence of the electric field generated by the electrical signal on the power supply structure 30, current will be generated in the first assembly part 11, the second assembly part 12 and the grounding structure 40 around the power supply structure 30, and the direction of the current is as follows. Figure 5 As shown by the straight arrow in the middle. The decorative component 10 can form a current loop with the circuit board 50 through the grounding structure 40, so that the current direction on the grounding structure 40 is opposite to the current direction on the feed structure 30. This facilitates the uniform distribution of current on the feed structure 30, enabling the feed structure 30 to effectively excite the radiation slot 20 and improve radiation efficiency. Using a feed structure 30 with a smaller height (along the thickness z direction) can achieve good radiation efficiency, ensuring high radiation performance while reducing the space occupied by the feed structure 30, which is convenient for layout. In this way, the setting of the grounding structure 40 can solve the problems of limited height of the feed structure 30 and uneven current distribution that affect the performance of the antenna assembly 103.

[0115] The space between the grounding structure 40 and the feeding structure 30 can also be filled with the dielectric structure mentioned above to isolate the grounding structure 40 and the feeding structure 30. The dielectric structure can also serve to assemble and fix the grounding structure 40, allowing the grounding structure 40 and the feeding structure 30 to be assembled and fixed together through the dielectric structure. The grounding structure 40 can also be fixedly connected to the decorative part 10 to form an integrated antenna assembly 103, improving the overall strength and reliability of the antenna assembly 103.

[0116] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the grounding structure 40 can be integrally formed with the feeding structure 30, the dielectric structure, and the decorative element 10, so that the antenna assembly 103 can be a single integrated structural component. Alternatively, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the feeding structure 30, the grounding structure 40, and the decorative element 10 can be formed separately, and then the dielectric structure is used to fill the spaces between the feeding structure 30 and the decorative element 10, and between the feeding structure 30 and the grounding structure 40.

[0117] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the grounding structure 40 may be disposed within the receiving space 10b of the decorative element 10, or, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the power supply structure 30 may extend partially outside the receiving space 10b of the decorative element 10 along the first direction (z direction) so that the grounding structure 40 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 50.

[0118] The antenna assembly 103 may also include a second elastic connector 60. For example, the second elastic connector 60 may have the same structure as the first elastic connector, such as a metal spring. The end of the grounding structure 40 facing away from the first assembly part 11 can be connected to the second elastic connector 60, which can be connected to the circuit board 50. The second elastic connector 60 enables electrical connection between the grounding structure 40 and the circuit board 50. By achieving an elastic connection between the grounding structure 40 and the circuit board 50 while meeting the electrical conductivity requirements of the circuit board 50 and the grounding structure 40, damage to the grounding structure 40 and the circuit board 50 during assembly can be reduced or avoided.

[0119] Of course, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the antenna assembly 103 may not include the second elastic connector 60. For example, in an example where the antenna assembly 103 does not include the circuit board 50, the second elastic connector 60 may be a structural component on the circuit board 50. Alternatively, the second elastic connector 60, the circuit board 50, and the antenna assembly 103 may be independent structural components, each assembled with the housing of the electronic device.

[0120] Figure 6 These are radiation efficiency curves of an antenna assembly shown according to some embodiments of this disclosure and an antenna assembly in a comparative example. The comparative example is an antenna assembly described above that does not include a grounding structure.

[0121] in, Figure 6 Curve S1 represents the radiation efficiency of the antenna assembly with the aforementioned grounding structure, while curve S2 represents the radiation efficiency of the antenna assembly without the grounding structure. The current on the grounding structure and the current on the feed structure exhibit opposite characteristics. The grounding structure improves the uniformity of the current distribution on the feed structure, allowing the feeding method from the feed structure to the radiating slot to be considered an approximate differential feeding form, significantly improving the radiation efficiency of the antenna assembly. See also... Figure 6 As shown, for example, an antenna assembly including a feed structure can add two resonant frequencies with good radiation at approximately 1.8 GHz and 2.4 GHz, exhibiting good dual-frequency resonant radiation efficiency.

[0122] Figure 7 This is a side view schematic diagram of an antenna assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, wherein, Figure 7 For the perspective along Figure 3 The dashed arrow shown (perpendicular to the direction of the first segment 121 of the decorative element 10) indicates a side view of the antenna assembly 103, exemplarily. Figure 3 The direction of the dashed arrow can be the same as the second direction (such as the y-direction). Figure 7 The dotted line indicates the location of some structural components inside the decorative part 10, which cannot be observed from the above perspective.

[0123] See in some examples Figure 7 As shown, the antenna assembly 103 may also include a grounding element 70, which may be one or more. Figure 7 An example of two grounding elements 70 is shown, such as grounding element 70a and grounding element 70b respectively.

[0124] One end of the grounding component 70 can be electrically connected to the decorative component 10, and the other end of the grounding component 70 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 50, and grounding is achieved through the circuit board 50. This allows the decorative component 10 to also be grounded through the grounding component 70, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the decorative component 10.

[0125] The following examples illustrate the layout and location of the power supply structure 30, the grounding structure 40, and the radiation gap 20.

[0126] Figure 8 This is a front view structural schematic diagram of an antenna assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, wherein, Figure 8 For the perspective along Figure 3 A front view of the antenna assembly 103 as seen from the first mounting portion 11 (e.g., in the z-direction) perpendicular to the decorative part 10. Figure 8 The dotted line in the middle indicates the location of some structural components inside the decorative part 10, which cannot be observed from the outside front of the decorative part 10 (along the thickness z direction).

[0127] In some embodiments of this disclosure, see Figure 8 As shown, along the second direction (e.g., the y-direction), the feed structure 30 is located on one side of the radiating slot 20. For example, the distance d2 between the feed structure 30 and the radiating slot 20 can range from 0.01λ to 0.02λ, where λ can be the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave signal radiated by the radiating slot 20. This ensures that the feed structure 30 can effectively excite the radiating slot 20, which is beneficial for improving the radiation efficiency and performance of the antenna assembly 103.

[0128] In this embodiment, the shape of the radiation slit 20 is not limited. For example, the shape of the radiation slit 20 can be rectangular, which is convenient for molding and has high radiation efficiency. Of course, in some other embodiments of this disclosure, the shape of the radiation slit 20 can also be other regular or irregular shapes. The following example illustrates the shape of the radiation slit 20 as rectangular.

[0129] Taking the example of creating a radial slit 20 on the first segment 121 of the decorative element 10, the rectangular radial slit 20 can penetrate the first segment 121 in a second direction (such as the y-direction). The short side of the radial slit 20 can be parallel to the first direction (z-direction), and the long side of the radial slit 20 can be parallel to a third direction. The third direction can be perpendicular to both the first and second directions. For example, if the second direction is the y-direction, the third direction can be the x-direction. The radial slit 20 can include two opposite ends along the third direction (such as the x-direction), for example, end 20a and end 20b.

[0130] In some embodiments of this disclosure, along a third direction (such as the x-direction), in the grounding structure 40 and the feeding structure 30, the grounding structure 40 may be disposed closer to one end of the radiating slot 20, thereby reducing the distance between the grounding structure 40 and the end of the radiating slot 20 of the decorative element 10. This facilitates the realization of a current loop from the decorative element 10, the grounding structure 40 to the circuit board 50, and improves the radiation efficiency and radiation performance of the antenna assembly 103.

[0131] For example, the grounding structure 40 is positioned closer to one end of the radiation gap 20, the connection between the feed structure 30 and the grounding structure 40 can be inclined relative to a second direction (such as the y direction) and a third direction (such as the x direction), and the connection between the feed structure 30 and the grounding structure 40 can be a straight line connecting the center point of the feed structure 30 and the center point of the grounding structure 40.

[0132] For example, taking the power supply structure 30 and the grounding structure 40 as cuboid structures, the connection between the power supply structure 30 and the grounding structure 40 can be the connection between the geometric center of the power supply structure 30 and the geometric center of the grounding structure 40, such as... Figure 8 As shown by the dashed line L, the line L connecting the power supply structure 30 and the grounding structure 40 can form a non-zero, non-90-degree angle θ with the long side direction (i.e., the third direction, such as the x-direction) of the radiation gap 20. Figure 8 As shown, the grounding structure 40 can be located diagonally above the feed structure 30 (on the side away from the radiation gap 20), and the distance between the grounding structure 40 and the radiation gap 20 is greater than the distance between the feed structure 30 and the radiation gap 20.

[0133] The grounding structure 40 can be installed near the end 20a of the radiation gap 20, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the grounding structure 40 can be located diagonally above the right side of the feed structure 30. Alternatively, the grounding structure 40 can be located adjacent to the end 20b of the radiation gap 20, so that the grounding structure 40 can be located diagonally above the left side of the feed structure 30.

[0134] Figure 9This is a front view schematic diagram of another antenna assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 9 The dotted line in the middle indicates the location of some structural components inside the decorative part 10, which cannot be observed from the outside front of the decorative part 10 (along the thickness z direction).

[0135] Alternatively, the grounding structure 40 can be positioned closer to one end of the radial slot 20, and the connection between the feed structure 30 and the grounding structure 40 can be parallel to a third direction (e.g., the x-direction). That is, in the third direction (e.g., the x-direction), the grounding structure 40 and the feed structure 30 can be sequentially distributed, such that the angle between the connection L between the grounding structure 40 and the feed structure 30 and the third direction is zero. Along the second direction (e.g., the y-direction), the distance d1 between the grounding structure 40 and the radial slot 20 can be equal to the distance d2 between the feed structure 30 and the radial slot 20.

[0136] The grounding structure 40 can be installed near the end 20a of the radiation gap 20, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the grounding structure 40 can be located on the right side of the feed structure 30 along a third direction (e.g., the x-direction). Alternatively, the grounding structure 40 can be located adjacent to the end 20b of the radiation gap 20, so that the grounding structure 40 can be located on the left side of the feed structure 30 along a third direction (e.g., the x-direction).

[0137] Figure 10 This is a front view structural schematic diagram of another antenna assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, wherein, Figure 10 The dotted line in the middle indicates the location of some structural components inside the decorative part 10, which cannot be observed from the outside front of the decorative part 10 (along the thickness z direction).

[0138] Alternatively, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the distances from the grounding structure 40, the feed structure 30 to the end of the radiation gap 20 along a third direction (such as the x-direction) can be the same. For example, see... Figure 10 As shown, the grounding structure 40 can be located on one side of the radial slot 20 along the second direction (y direction), that is, along the second direction (y direction). The radial slot 20, the feed structure 30, and the grounding structure 40 can be distributed sequentially, as follows: Figure 10 As shown, the grounding structure 40 can be located directly above the feed structure 30 (on the side away from the radiation gap 20). The angle between the line L connecting the grounding structure 40 and the feed structure 30 and a third direction (such as the x direction) can be 90°, and the distance d1 between the grounding structure 40 and the radiation gap 20 can be greater than the distance d2 between the feed structure 30 and the radiation gap 20.

[0139] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the angle θ between the line L connecting the grounding structure 40 and the power supply structure 30 and a third direction (such as the x-direction) can range from 0° to 60°. It is understood that when the angle θ is 0°, as described above... Figure 9 The schematic antenna assembly 103, grounding structure 40, and feed structure 30 are sequentially distributed along a third direction (e.g., the x-direction). The angle between the line connecting the grounding structure 40 and the feed structure 30 and the third direction (e.g., the x-direction) is 0° to 60°, which facilitates a better current loop from the decorative part 10, the grounding structure 40 to the circuit board 50, thereby improving the radiation performance of the antenna assembly 103.

[0140] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the straight-line distance between the feed structure 30 and the ground structure 40 ranges from 0.02λ to 0.04λ, where λ can be the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave signal radiated by the radiation slot 20. It is understood that the straight-line distance between the feed structure 30 and the ground structure 40 can be the straight-line distance between the center of the feed structure 30 and the center of the ground structure 40, i.e., the length of the line L connecting the two. Keeping the straight-line distance between the feed structure 30 and the ground structure 40 within the aforementioned range further enables the current loop from the decorative element 10, the ground structure 40 to the circuit board 50, significantly improving the radiation performance of the antenna assembly 103.

However, the term "above" as used with respect to components, elements, or material layers formed or located "above" a surface may also optionally have a specific meaning: that the component, element, or material layer is "directly" positioned (e.g., placed, formed, deposited, etc.) on the surface, for example, in direct contact with the surface.

[0145] Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used herein to describe various components, parts, regions, layers, or sections, these components, parts, regions, layers, or sections are not limited to these terms. Rather, these terms are used only to distinguish one component, part, region, layer, or section from another. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the examples described herein, the first component, part, region, layer, or section mentioned in the examples may also be referred to as the second component, part, region, layer, or section. Furthermore, the terms “first” and “second” are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as “first” or “second” may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description herein, “a plurality” means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0146] Furthermore, the term “exemplary” is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as advantageous compared to other aspects or designs. Rather, the use of the term “exemplary” is intended to present the concept in a concrete manner. As used herein, the term “or” is intended to mean an inclusive “or” rather than an exclusive “or.” That is, unless otherwise specified or clear from the context, “X applies A or B” is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive arrangements. That is, “X applies A or B” satisfies any of the foregoing instances if X applies A; X applies B; or both X applies A and B. Additionally, unless otherwise specified or clear from the context to refer to the singular form, the articles “a” and “an” as used in this application and the appended claims are generally understood to mean “one or more.”

[0147] Similarly, although this disclosure has been shown and described with respect to one or more implementations, equivalent variations and modifications will occur to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the specification and drawings. This disclosure includes all such modifications and variations and is limited only by the scope of the claims. In particular, with respect to the various functions performed by the components described above (e.g., elements, resources, etc.), unless otherwise indicated, the terminology used to describe such components is intended to correspond to any component (functionally equivalent) that performs the specific function of the described component, even if structurally not equivalent to the disclosed structure. Furthermore, although specific features of this disclosure may have been disclosed with respect to only one of several implementations, such features may be combined with one or more other features of other implementations, as may be desired and advantageous to any given or particular application. Moreover, with regard to the terms “comprising,” “owning,” “having,” “having,” or variations thereof as used in the detailed description or claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “including.”

[0148] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The specification and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of this disclosure are indicated by the following claims.

[0149] It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the precise structures described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this disclosure is limited only by the appended claims.
