[0002] Electronic devices typically have communication capabilities. These devices require antennas. For example, the antenna of a walkie-talkie is located externally, thus affecting the overall storage space of the electronic device. Some electronic devices have manually flip-up antennas.

[0025] See Figures 1 to 7 The electronic device 100 includes: a device body 10, a control module (not shown), a foldable antenna 20, a first magnetic element 40, and a first magnetic sensor 50.

[0026] The control module is located on the main body of the equipment 10.

[0027] The foldable antenna 20 is mounted on the device body 10 via a pivot 30, and can be in an unfolded or folded state relative to the device body 10. A first magnetic element 40 is provided on the foldable antenna 20. Figure 4 As shown, an antenna receiving slot A can be provided on the main body 10 of the device. One end of the foldable antenna 20 is mounted on the main body 10 via a pivot 30 and can rotate around the pivot 30, so that the foldable antenna 20 can be in an unfolded or folded state relative to the main body 10. When the foldable antenna 20 is in the folded state relative to the main body 10, it is housed in the antenna receiving slot A. At this time, the foldable antenna 20 can be completely stored inside the housing of the main body 10, and is basically flush with the outer surface of the housing, thereby improving the overall appearance consistency and integrity of the device.

[0028] In some embodiments, the first magnetic element 40 may be disposed close to the rotating shaft 30. Because the first magnetic element 40 is disposed close to the rotating shaft 30, when the foldable antenna 20 rotates at a small angle, the first magnetic element 40 will not cause a change in the detection signal of the first magnetic sensor 50, which can improve the situation of false triggering.

[0029] A first magnetic sensor 50 is disposed on the device body 10, corresponding to the first magnetic element 40, and electrically connected to the control module. In some embodiments, the control module may be composed of a chip with logic processing capabilities, such as a processor. In some embodiments, the first magnetic sensor 50 may be a Hall sensor. A Hall sensor is a magnetic field sensor based on the Hall effect.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, when the foldable antenna 20 is in a folded state, the control module is in a first power consumption mode. In some embodiments, the first power consumption mode may correspond to the sleep mode of the control module. It is understood that the electronic device 100 also has other modules, such as a Bluetooth module, an intercom module, etc. When the foldable antenna 20 is in a folded state, the Bluetooth module may be in a power-off mode or a sleep mode. When the foldable antenna 20 is in a folded state, the intercom module may be in a power-off mode or a sleep mode.

[0031] During the transition of the foldable antenna 20 from a folded state to an unfolded state, such as from... Figure 3 Switching to Figure 4In this state, the first magnetic element 40 changes position, causing the first magnetic sensor 50 to send a first detection signal to the control module. In response to the first detection signal, the control module switches from a first power consumption mode to a second power consumption mode; wherein the power consumption corresponding to the second power consumption mode is greater than the power consumption corresponding to the first power consumption mode. In some embodiments, the first detection signal can be a high-level signal or a low-level signal. In some embodiments, the second power consumption mode can correspond to the operating mode of the control module.

[0032] It is understood that the electronic device 100 also includes other modules, such as a Bluetooth module and a walkie-talkie module. When the foldable antenna 20 is in the unfolded state, the Bluetooth module can be in an active mode. When the foldable antenna 20 is in the unfolded state, the walkie-talkie module can be in an active mode or a standby mode.

[0033] In some embodiments, during the switching process of the foldable antenna 20 from an unfolded state to a folded state, such as from... Figure 5 Switching to Figure 6 In this state, the first magnetic element 40 changes position, causing the first magnetic sensor 50 to send a second detection signal to the control module. The control module, in response to the second detection signal, switches from a second power consumption mode to a first power consumption mode. In some embodiments, the second detection signal has the opposite logic level to the first detection signal. For example, if the first detection signal is high, then the second detection signal is low. Conversely, if the first detection signal is low, then the second detection signal is high.

[0034] In some embodiments, the unfolded state includes a first unfolded state and a second unfolded state. The unfolding angle corresponding to the first unfolded state is smaller than the unfolding angle of the second unfolded state. An elastic drive mechanism 60 is provided at the pivot 30. After the foldable antenna 20 is controlled to switch from the folded state to the first unfolded state, such as from... Figure 3 Switching to Figure 4 In the second unfolded state, the foldable antenna 20 automatically unfolds to the second unfolded state under the action of the elastic drive mechanism 60. Figure 4 Switching to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the elastic drive mechanism 60 may be composed of a spring / torsion spring. One end of the elastic drive mechanism 60 is disposed on the device body 10, and the other end of the elastic drive mechanism 60 is disposed near the pivot 30 of the foldable antenna 20. After the foldable antenna 20 is controlled to switch from a folded state to a first unfolded state, the foldable antenna 20 can automatically unfold to a second unfolded state under the elastic action of the elastic drive mechanism 60. When the foldable antenna 20 is unfolded to the second unfolded state, the limiting structure 70 abuts against one end of the antenna receiving slot A, thereby keeping the foldable antenna 20 in the second unfolded state. Figure 5 The second unfolded state is shown.

[0035] In some embodiments, after the foldable antenna 20 switches from a folded state to a first unfolded state, the first magnetic sensor 50 sends a first detection signal to the control module. In some embodiments, after the foldable antenna 20 switches from a folded state to a first unfolded state, the first magnetic element 40 moves away from the first magnetic sensor 50, so that the first magnetic sensor 50 generates the first detection signal and sends the first detection signal to the control module.

[0036] In some embodiments, after the foldable antenna 20 switches from a folded state to a first unfolded state, the first magnetic element 40 approaches the first magnetic sensor 50, so that the first magnetic sensor 50 generates a first detection signal and sends the first detection signal to the control module.

[0037] In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 is a walkie-talkie. When the foldable antenna 20 is in a first unfolded state, the control module is woken up in response to a first detection signal and controls the walkie-talkie module of the walkie-talkie to enter a standby mode.

[0038] In some embodiments, when the foldable antenna 20 is in the second unfolded state, the control module is in working mode and the intercom module enters working mode.

[0039] In some embodiments, the unfolded state includes a first unfolded state and a second unfolded state; the unfolding angle corresponding to the first unfolded state is smaller than the unfolding angle of the second unfolded state; an elastic drive mechanism 60 is provided at the pivot 30; after the foldable antenna 20 is controlled to switch from the second unfolded state to the first unfolded state, such as from... Figure 5 Switching to Figure 6 In this state, the foldable antenna 20 automatically switches from the first unfolded state to the folded state under the action of the elastic drive mechanism 60. Figure 6 Switching to Figure 7 The state.

[0040] In some embodiments, after the foldable antenna 20 switches from the second unfolded state to the first unfolded state, the first magnetic sensor 50 sends a second detection signal to the control module.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first magnetic element 40 is disposed near the rotating shaft 30.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first magnetic sensor 50 is a Hall sensor.

[0043] In one application scenario, the aforementioned electronic device 100 can be a walkie-talkie speaker with a two-section automatically deployable antenna. The walkie-talkie speaker includes: a walkie-talkie speaker body, a foldable antenna 20, a Hall sensor, a first magnetic element 40, and a main control unit (control module).

[0044] The foldable antenna 20 includes: an antenna body, an antenna shaft 30, an elastic drive mechanism 60, and a limiting structure 70.

[0045] The Hall sensor is located inside the intercom speaker body; the first magnetic element 40 is located on the foldable antenna 20 and corresponds to the Hall sensor; the main control unit is electrically connected to the Hall sensor and the intercom function module respectively.

[0046] The foldable antenna 20 moves in two stages, specifically including the following: First stage of movement: The user manually pushes the foldable antenna 20, causing it to rotate from the hidden state (folded state) to a preset trigger angle (e.g., 20°–40°). At this time, the preset trigger angle corresponds to the first unfolded state described above.

[0047] The second phase of motion: When the foldable antenna 20 reaches the preset trigger angle, the elastic drive mechanism 60 automatically activates, causing the foldable antenna 20 to spring up and unfold to the target working angle (e.g., 90° or approximately vertical). At this time, the preset trigger angle corresponds to the second unfolding state described above.

[0048] The Hall effect linkage control scheme is as follows: The Hall sensor is used to detect changes in the position of the foldable antenna 20 and outputs a corresponding level signal to the main control unit. When the foldable antenna 20 is in the unfolded state, the Hall sensor outputs a first detection signal (such as a high level), and the main control unit controls the electronic device 100 to perform at least one of the following operations: The entire machine starts up upon power-on; Enter intercom working mode; Activate the wireless communication module; When the foldable antenna 20 is in the folded state, the Hall sensor outputs a second detection signal (such as a low level), and the main control unit controls the electronic device 100 to perform at least one of the following operations: Intercom function is off; The intercom module enters a deep sleep low-power mode; The main control unit enters a low-power sleep mode.

[0049] In one specific embodiment, the foldable antenna 20 is flush with the outline of the intercom speaker housing when folded.

[0050] When the user manually pushes the foldable antenna 20 to about 30°, the elastic drive mechanism 60 releases energy, causing the foldable antenna 20 to automatically rotate to a 90° upright position.

[0051] At this time, the magnet (first magnetic element 40) located at the end of the foldable antenna 20 approaches the Hall sensor, the Hall sensor outputs a high-level signal, and the main control unit automatically starts the intercom function.

[0052] When the user presses the foldable antenna 20 back into the folded state, the Hall sensor outputs a low-level signal, and the main control unit controls the whole device to enter a deep sleep mode.

[0053] In one application scenario, the foldable antenna 20 is completely stored inside the housing when folded, and the foldable antenna 20 is not visible from the external viewpoint or only a very small operating terminal is exposed.

[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, the foldable antenna 20 is completely retracted into the housing when not in operation (folded state), and is basically flush with the outer surface of the housing, thereby improving the overall appearance consistency and integrity of the device.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, the user manually pushes the foldable antenna 20 from 0° to a first preset angle α (α can be 20° to 30°). When the foldable antenna 20 is at angle α, it automatically springs up to the working angle under the action of the elastic drive mechanism 60, such as from α to 90° or vertical. During this process, the user only needs to apply an initial unfolding action to the foldable antenna 20, and the foldable antenna 20 will automatically unfold to the intercom working angle under the action of the two-stage motion mechanism, without the need for additional button operation. The foldable antenna 20 cannot automatically spring up before reaching the first preset angle α, thus effectively avoiding accidental springing and improving structural reliability.

[0056] Because the Hall sensor is linked with the main control unit, the user only needs to unfold the foldable antenna 20 to allow the electronic device 100 to automatically enter the intercom mode, which is convenient to operate. In addition, the linkage between the Hall sensor and the main control unit can reduce misoperation.

[0057] In some embodiments, the linkage logic between the Hall sensor and the main control unit is as follows: When the foldable antenna 20 is in the folded state, the angle of the foldable antenna 20 is 0°. At this time, the Hall sensor provides a low-level signal to the main control unit, and the main control unit controls the electronic device 100 to be in the intercom power-off mode.

[0058] The foldable antenna 20 is manually unfolded in its first segment. After unfolding from 0° to α, the Hall sensor is triggered, waking up the main control unit of the electronic device 100. The Bluetooth of the electronic device 100 enters standby mode, and the intercom module of the electronic device 100 enters intercom mode. Then, the foldable antenna 20 automatically unfolds in its second segment, from α to 90°. At this time, the receiving and transmitting paths of the intercom module are ready. That is, the main control unit of the electronic device 100 automatically switches the overall operating state based on the antenna position detection signals (high-level and low-level signals), avoiding accidental activation due to accidental button presses. The two-segment movement structure of the foldable antenna 20 prevents accidental antenna unfolding and improves structural reliability.

[0059] Furthermore, the folding process of the foldable antenna 20 can also be divided into two stages. The first stage involves the user manually pushing the foldable antenna 20, i.e., from the working angle (or 90°) to a second preset angle β (β can be 60° to 70°). The second stage involves the foldable antenna 20 automatically closing to the standby angle after reaching angle β, such as changing from β to 0° or horizontal. During the folding process, the user only needs to apply an initial closing action to the foldable antenna 20, which will automatically close to the intercom standby angle under the action of the two-stage motion mechanism, without requiring additional button operation. The foldable antenna 20 cannot automatically close before reaching the first preset closing angle β, thus effectively avoiding accidental closing and improving structural reliability. Furthermore, when the foldable antenna 20 is folded, the electronic device 100 automatically goes into sleep mode or shuts down, effectively reducing power consumption.

[0060] In some embodiments, when the foldable antenna 20 is folded, the main control unit can be in sleep mode, the Bluetooth module can be in off mode, and the intercom module can be in off mode.

[0061] In some embodiments, when the foldable antenna 20 is folded, the main control unit can be in working mode, the Bluetooth module can be in on mode, and the intercom module can be in off mode.

[0062] In some embodiments, when the foldable antenna 20 is in the first unfolded state, the main control unit may be in wake-up mode, the Bluetooth module may be in power-on mode, and the intercom module may be in standby mode.

[0063] In some embodiments, when the foldable antenna 20 is in the second unfolded state, the main control unit may be in an active mode, the Bluetooth module may be in an on mode, and the intercom module may be in an on mode.

[0064] In some embodiments, Figures 3 to 7 The elastic drive mechanism 60 is a Z-shaped spring. The first fixed end of the elastic drive mechanism 60 is located at the rotating shaft 30, and the second fixed end of the elastic drive mechanism 60 is located at the fixing part of the device body 10 below the rotating shaft 30.

[0065] In some embodiments, see Figures 8 to 10 The elastic drive mechanism 60 is an M-shaped spring. The first fixed end of the elastic drive mechanism 60 is located at the rotating shaft 30, and the second fixed end is located at the fixing part of the device body 10 below the rotating shaft 30. That is, the foldable antenna 20 can be folded from its original position using the M-shaped spring. Figures 8 to 10 The unfolding process. The foldable antenna 20 can be unfolded using an M-shaped spring. Figures 10 to 9 The folding process.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 11 and Figure 12 The electronic device 100 also includes a second magnetic element 81 and a second magnetic sensor 82. A sliding cavity B is provided in the foldable antenna 20. The second magnetic element 81 is disposed in the sliding cavity B and can move within it. The second magnetic sensor 82 is disposed corresponding to the sliding cavity B and is connected to the control module. During the switching process of the foldable antenna 20 from a folded state to an unfolded state, the position of the second magnetic element 81 changes, causing the second magnetic sensor 82 to send a third detection signal to the control module; wherein the third detection signal is sent to the control module before the first detection signal. In some embodiments, the control module responds to the third detection signal by switching from a first power consumption mode to a third power consumption mode, and responds to the first detection signal by switching from a third power consumption mode to a second power consumption mode; wherein the power consumption corresponding to the second power consumption mode is greater than the power consumption corresponding to the third power consumption mode, and the power consumption corresponding to the third power consumption mode is greater than the power consumption corresponding to the first power consumption mode. Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, during the transition of the foldable antenna 20 from a folded state to an unfolded state, the second magnetic element 81 moves within the sliding cavity B under the influence of gravity, from one side to the other. Since a second magnetic sensor 82 is located on the other side, it generates a third detection signal upon detecting the second magnetic element 81. This third detection signal is sent to the control module before the first detection signal, and the control module responds to this signal by switching from the first power consumption mode to the third power consumption mode. In the third power consumption mode, the control module can activate more functional modules compared to the first power consumption mode. Further, during the transition of the foldable antenna 20 from a folded state to an unfolded state, the first magnetic sensor sends a first detection signal to the control module, and the control module responds to this signal by switching from the third power consumption mode to the second power consumption mode. In the second power consumption mode, the control module can activate more functional modules compared to the third power consumption mode. Therefore, the second magnetic element 81 and the second magnetic sensor 82 can be used as activation conditions for the intermediate power consumption mode (third power consumption mode). This allows the control module to gradually transition from the first power consumption mode and the third power consumption mode to the second power consumption mode during the switching process of the foldable antenna 20 from the folded state to the unfolded state. There is no need to wait for the control module to receive the first detection signal before switching the power consumption mode. The control module can switch the power consumption based on the third detection signal before the first detection signal, activating some functional modules. Then, when the control module receives the first detection signal and switches the power consumption mode, it only needs to activate the remaining functional modules. This process reduces the number of functional modules that the control module needs to activate under the first detection signal, thereby reducing the overall activation time and improving the overall power consumption switching efficiency of the electronic device 100.

[0067] like Figure 11 As shown, the sliding cavity B is located at the front end of the foldable antenna 20 away from the pivot. The electronic device 100 also includes a magnetic suction component 83. The magnetic suction component 83 is located on the main body 10 of the device and is positioned at the front end. The magnetic suction component 83 is configured to attract the second magnetic element 81 when the foldable antenna 20 is in the folded state. By using the magnetic suction component 83 to attract the second magnetic element 81, the sliding of the second magnetic element 81 within the sliding cavity B can be prevented from affecting the signal of the second magnetic sensor due to the placement angle or handheld angle of the electronic device 100 when the foldable antenna 20 is in the folded state. This reduces false triggering of power consumption mode switching, and the attraction of the second magnetic element 81 by the magnetic suction component 83 can further maintain the foldable antenna 20 in the folded state.

[0068] During the transition of the foldable antenna 20 from the folded state to the unfolded state, the second magnetic element 81 moves away from the magnetic attraction component 83, the magnetic attraction component 83 loses its attraction force on the second magnetic element 81, and the second magnetic element 81 moves in the sliding cavity B under the action of gravity, moving from one side of the sliding cavity B to the other side.

[0069] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the sliding cavity B is provided with a sliding track. When the foldable antenna 20 is in the folded state, the second magnetic element 81 is located at the first end of the sliding track. During the process of the foldable antenna 20 switching from the folded state to the unfolded state, the position of the second magnetic element 81 changes, sliding from the first end of the sliding track to the second end of the sliding track; the second magnetic sensor 82 is provided at the second end of the sliding cavity B. Figure 11 As shown, the first end of the sliding track is radially lower than the second end of the sliding track of the foldable antenna 20. Therefore, during the transition of the foldable antenna 20 from a folded state to an unfolded state, the second magnetic element 81 can slide from the first end to the second end of the sliding track under the influence of gravity, thereby triggering the second magnetic sensor 82 to generate a third detection signal, such as from... Figure 11 The state shown becomes Figure 12 The state.

[0070] During the transition of the foldable antenna 20 from the unfolded state to the folded state, the second magnetic element 81 changes position, sliding from the second end of the sliding track to the first end of the sliding track, and is then attracted by the magnetic component 83, remaining stationary.

[0071] In some embodiments, considering that the second magnetic element 81 may affect the antenna signal in the foldable antenna 20, a shielding layer can be provided outside the sliding cavity B to isolate the influence of the second magnetic element 81 on the antenna signal in the foldable antenna 20. For example, a shielding layer is provided on the sliding cavity B near the antenna circuit side of the foldable antenna 20.

[0072] In summary, the electronic device 100 provided in this application includes: a device body 10, a control module, and a foldable antenna 20. A first magnetic sensor 50 is disposed in the device body 10, and a first magnetic element 40 is disposed in the foldable antenna 20. When the foldable antenna 20 is in a folded state, the control module is in a first power consumption mode. During the transition of the foldable antenna 20 from a folded state to an unfolded state, the position of the first magnetic element 40 changes, causing the first magnetic sensor 50 to send a first detection signal to the control module. The control module, in response to the first detection signal, switches from the first power consumption mode to a second power consumption mode. The power consumption corresponding to the second power consumption mode is greater than that corresponding to the first power consumption mode, thereby enabling linkage between the foldable antenna 20 and the control module of the electronic device 100. This effectively improves the power consumption control capability of the electronic device 100, eliminating the need for users to operate other function buttons on the electronic device 100, thus enhancing user experience and device reliability.

[0073] Furthermore, the foldable antenna 20 can be completely hidden within the main body 10 of the device when not in use (folded state), improving the appearance integrity of the electronic device 100; and the user only needs to unfold the antenna to automatically enter the intercom mode, making operation convenient; the unfolding of the foldable antenna 20 is automatically linked to the overall working status of the electronic device 100, which can reduce misoperation; and when the foldable antenna 20 is in the folded state, the electronic device 100 automatically goes into sleep mode or shuts down, which can effectively reduce power consumption; and the two-stage movement of the foldable antenna 20 (first unfolded state and second unfolded state) can prevent the antenna from accidentally popping up, improving structural reliability.
