Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a housing assembly and a laptop computer. Background Technology
[0002] A laptop's antenna transmits and receives wireless signals, enabling communication between the laptop and wireless routers, Bluetooth devices, and other similar devices. In existing technology, the antenna is located inside the laptop's main casing (C-shell or D-shell). While this utilizes the space in the base, this area houses high-speed digital circuits such as the motherboard, processor, and memory, generating strong electromagnetic interference during operation, leading to decreased sensitivity and degraded communication quality. To avoid electromagnetic interference within the main casing, some solutions place the antenna inside the screen casing (A-shell or B-shell). While this keeps the antenna away from interference sources, it occupies space in the display area, increasing the thickness of the screen assembly and hindering the design of a thinner and lighter laptop.

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a housing assembly and a laptop computer that aims to solve the technical problem of laptop computer antennas being unable to balance space utilization and wireless signal quality.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides a housing assembly for a laptop computer, the housing assembly comprising: First shell; Second shell; A connecting mechanism connects the first housing and the second housing respectively, so that the first housing and the second housing can rotate relative to each other, and the end of the first housing facing the connecting mechanism is bent and extended to form a corner; The cover connects to the corner portion and together with the corner portion encloses a cavity. The shielding effectiveness of the cover for radio frequency signals is lower than that of the first housing. The cavity has a first port and a second port. The antenna is at least partially housed within the cavity; A first signal transmission element is electrically connected to the antenna and extends from the first port; A second signal transmission element is spaced apart from the antenna and extends from the second port.
[0005] In some embodiments, the corner portion includes a first extension segment and a second extension segment connected to each other, the extension direction of the first extension segment intersecting the extension direction of the second extension segment; the cover includes a first cover portion and a second cover portion connected to each other and bent relative to each other; wherein the first cover portion is connected to the first extension segment and the second cover portion is connected to the second extension segment, so as to jointly enclose the cavity.
[0006] In some embodiments, the first housing is made of metal and the cover is made of plastic; and / or, the first signal transmission element includes the radio frequency feed line of the antenna and the second signal transmission element includes the display signal transmission line of the laptop computer.
[0007] In some embodiments, the corner portion is provided with a first connecting structure on the side facing the cover, and the cover is provided with a second connecting structure on the side facing the corner portion, wherein the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure are detachably connected.
[0008] In some embodiments, the first connecting structure includes a first slot, and the second connecting structure includes a first locking block, the first locking block passing through and engaging with the first slot; and / or The first connecting structure includes a first positioning groove, and the second connecting structure includes a first positioning block, the first positioning block being inserted into the first positioning groove.
[0009] In some embodiments, the first housing and the second housing are adapted to rotate relative to each other about the rotation axis of the connecting mechanism, the cavity extends in a direction parallel to the rotation axis, and the first port and the second port are respectively located at opposite ends of the cavity along the rotation axis.
[0010] In some embodiments, the connecting mechanism includes a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft arranged at intervals, the first rotating shaft passing through at least part of the first port, and the second rotating shaft passing through at least part of the second port; the first rotating shaft has a first recessed groove on the side facing the second rotating shaft, the first signal transmission element being adapted to be led out from the first recessed groove, and the second rotating shaft has a second recessed groove on the side facing the first rotating shaft, the second signal transmission element being adapted to be led out from the second recessed groove.
[0011] In some embodiments, the housing assembly includes an elastic conductor that is compressed and clamped between the antenna and the corner portion, and the elastic conductor is electrically connected to the antenna and the corner portion to ground the antenna.
[0012] In some embodiments, the elastic conductor includes conductive foam, an elastomer wrapped in conductive cloth, or conductive rubber, and the elastic conductor is adhered to the side of the corner facing the antenna.
[0013] A second aspect of the present invention provides a laptop computer, the laptop computer comprising: The housing assembly as described in the above embodiments; and, A display module is disposed in the first housing; The data processing module is located in the second housing.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include: In the technical solution of this invention, the housing assembly includes a first housing, a second housing, a connecting mechanism, a cover, and an antenna. The connecting mechanism connects the first housing and the second housing respectively, allowing the first housing and the second housing to rotate relative to each other. In the prior art, antennas located inside the main housing are susceptible to electromagnetic interference, resulting in poor communication quality. When the antenna is located inside the screen housing, it occupies space in the display area, increasing the thickness of the screen assembly. In this solution, the end of the first housing facing the connecting mechanism is bent and extended to form a corner. The cover connects to the corner and together with the corner, encloses a cavity, in which the antenna is at least partially housed. That is, the antenna is located at the connection point between the first housing and the second housing, away from high-speed circuits, effectively reducing the impact of electromagnetic interference on the antenna signal reception performance.

[0015] Compared to the design where a flat shell and a U-shaped cover jointly enclose the cavity, this design uses a corner section and a cover to jointly enclose the cavity. The corner section, integrally bent at the end of the first shell, possesses excellent structural strength, providing stable support for the cavity and antenna, reducing deformation caused by bending or external forces, and improving the stability of antenna operation and the long-term reliability of the entire device. Simultaneously, because the cover's shielding effectiveness for radio frequency signals is lower than that of the first shell, the cover's lower shielding effectiveness ensures low-loss signal penetration of the antenna. The corner section formed by the first shell acts as a signal reflector, directionally reflecting stray signals backward and outward from the antenna, enhancing the antenna's radiation gain in the target direction, and effectively improving signal transmission reliability and communication quality. Furthermore, the cavity has a first port and a second port. The antenna's first signal transmission component and other second signal transmission components are respectively led out from the first port and the second port, achieving physical isolation between the radio frequency signal path and the non-radio frequency signal path, effectively reducing crosstalk and optimizing the internal cable layout.

[0019] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] A first aspect of this invention provides a housing assembly 10 for a laptop computer. It is understood that the laptop computer can be a thin and light laptop, a business laptop, or a gaming laptop, etc. See below for further details. Figures 1 to 7The housing assembly 10 of this application embodiment will be introduced. Specifically, the housing assembly 10 includes a first housing 100, a second housing 200, a connecting mechanism 300, a cover 400, an antenna 500, a first signal transmission element 600 and a second signal transmission element 700.
[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the first housing 100 can be a screen housing, and the second housing 200 can be a host housing. In other embodiments, the first housing 100 can be a host housing, and the second housing 200 can be a screen housing. This application embodiment is illustrated using the example of the first housing 100 being a screen housing (A housing) and the second housing 200 being a host housing (C housing).
[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The connecting mechanism 300 is used to allow the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 to rotate relative to each other, thereby opening and closing the laptop. The connecting mechanism 300 connects the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 respectively. In some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 300 can be a protruding hinge or a recessed hinge. In other embodiments, the connecting mechanism 300 can be a multi-axis or dual-axis hinge. In other embodiments, the connecting mechanism 300 can be a watchband-type hinge or a two-in-one hinge. In still other embodiments, the connecting mechanism 300 can be a linkage-type dual hinge. The specific configuration of the connecting mechanism 300 can be determined according to the actual situation.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The end of the first housing 100 facing the connecting mechanism 300 is bent and extended to form a corner portion 110. Specifically, in some embodiments, the corner portion 110 may be bent inward from the lower edge of the first housing 100 to form a right angle or obtuse angle bend, constituting a turning surface. In other embodiments, the corner portion 110 may be bent inward from the lower edge of the first housing 100 and then extend in a direction parallel to the plane of the first housing 100, forming an L-shaped cross-sectional configuration with two extension segments.
[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 4The cover 400, together with the corner portion 110, forms a cavity 410 for accommodating the antenna 500. The cover 400 connects to the corner portion 110 and, together with the corner portion 110, encloses the cavity 410. The antenna 500 can be in the form of a flexible circuit board antenna 500, a laser-formed antenna 500, or a ceramic antenna 500, etc. The antenna 500 is at least partially housed in the cavity 410. The shielding effectiveness of the cover 400 against radio frequency signals is lower than that of the first housing 100, which allows the antenna 500 signal to penetrate the cover 400 with low loss, ensuring communication quality. In some embodiments, the first housing 100 can be made entirely of metal, while the cover 400 can be made entirely of plastic, thus utilizing the difference in the intrinsic electromagnetic properties of the materials to achieve a difference in shielding effectiveness. In other embodiments, the first housing 100 can be a plastic substrate with a conductive coating on its inner surface, while the cover 400 is uncoated plastic, thus achieving a difference in shielding effectiveness by the presence or absence of a conductive coating. In other embodiments, both the first housing 100 and the cover 400 are made of plastic, but the wall thickness of the first housing 100 is greater than that of the cover 400, or conductive fillers are added to the material of the first housing 100 while those are not added to the cover 400. This difference in thickness or formulation results in poor shielding effectiveness. This application uses the example of a first housing 100 being made of metal and the cover 400 being made of plastic to illustrate this poor shielding effectiveness.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 The cavity 410 has a first port 411 and a second port 412. Specifically, in some embodiments, the cavity 410 is elongated along the rotation axis 310 of the connecting mechanism 300, and the first port 411 and the second port 412 are located at the two end faces of the cavity 410 along its length. In other embodiments, the first port 411 and the second port 412 are located on the sidewalls at both ends of the cavity 410, and the opening direction of the ports is perpendicular to the rotation axis 310 of the connecting mechanism 300. The specific positions of the first port 411 and the second port 412 can be determined according to the actual situation. This embodiment of the application illustrates the example where the first port 411 and the second port 412 are located at the two end faces of the cavity 410 along its length.
[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The first signal transmission component 600 can be the radio frequency feed line 610 of the antenna 500. The radio frequency feed line 610 is electrically connected to the antenna 500 and leads out from the first port 411 to the wireless communication module inside the second housing 200. The second signal transmission component 700 can be a signal line that is physically separated from the antenna 500, such as a display signal line 710, a camera signal line, or a touch screen signal line. The display signal line 710 leads out from the second port 412 to the motherboard inside the second housing 200.
[0028] In the technical solution of this invention, the housing assembly 10 includes a first housing 100, a second housing 200, a connecting mechanism 300, a cover 400, and an antenna 500. The connecting mechanism 300 connects the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 respectively, so that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can rotate relative to each other. In the prior art, antennas located inside the main unit housing are subject to electromagnetic interference, resulting in poor communication quality. When antennas are located inside the screen housing, they occupy space in the display area, resulting in an increase in the thickness of the screen assembly. In this solution, the end of the first housing 100 facing the connecting mechanism 300 is bent and extended to form a corner portion 110. The cover 400 connects to the corner portion 110 and together with the corner portion 110 encloses a cavity 410. The antenna 500 is at least partially housed within the cavity 410. The antenna 500 is located at the connection point between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. It is far away from the high-speed circuit, which can effectively reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference on the signal receiving performance of the antenna 500. Moreover, this solution does not require encroaching on the display area space, which is conducive to the overall narrow bezel and thinness of the laptop.
[0029] Compared to the design where a flat shell and a U-shaped cover jointly enclose the cavity, this design uses a corner portion 110 and a cover 400 to jointly enclose the cavity 410. The corner portion 110, integrally bent at the end of the first shell 100, possesses excellent structural strength, providing stable support for the cavity 410 and the antenna 500, reducing deformation caused by bending or external forces, and improving the stability of the antenna 500 and the long-term reliability of the entire device. Simultaneously, because the shielding effectiveness of the cover 400 for radio frequency signals is lower than that of the first shell 100, the lower shielding effectiveness of the cover 400 ensures low-loss signal penetration of the antenna 500. The corner portion 110 formed by the first shell 100 can act as a signal reflector, directionally reflecting stray signals from the antenna 500 backward and outward, enhancing the radiation gain of the antenna 500 in the target direction, and effectively improving the reliability of signal transmission and communication quality. In addition, the cavity 410 has a first port 411 and a second port 412. The first signal transmission element 600 of the antenna 500 and other second signal transmission elements 700 are respectively led out from the first port 411 and the second port 412, which can realize the isolation of the radio frequency signal path and the non-radio frequency signal path in physical space, effectively reduce crosstalk, and optimize the internal cable space layout.
[0030] Reference Figures 2 to 7 The specific arrangement of the corner portion 110 and the cover 400 is described below. In some embodiments, the corner portion 110 includes a first extension 111 and a second extension 112 connected to each other, referring to... Figure 2The first extension segment 111 can be an extension segment parallel to the main plane of the first housing 100 on the right side, and the second extension segment 112 can be an extension segment along the vertical direction on the left side. The extension direction of the first extension segment 111 intersects the second extension segment 112. Specifically, in some embodiments, the extension direction of the first extension segment 111 can be perpendicular to the second extension segment 112, that is, the corner portion 110 can have an L-shaped cross-section. In other embodiments, the extension direction of the first extension segment 111 can be at other inclination angles that are not perpendicular to the second extension segment 112, which can be determined according to the actual situation. The cover 400 includes a first cover portion 420 and a second cover portion 430 that are connected to each other and bent relative to each other. The first cover portion 420 connects to the first extension segment 111, and the second cover portion 430 connects to the second extension segment 112, so as to jointly enclose the cavity 410. It should be noted that the first cover 420 can be directly or indirectly connected to the first extension 111, and the second cover 400 can be directly or indirectly connected to the second extension 112. In this embodiment, the first cover 420 is directly connected to the second extension 112, and the second cover 430 is connected to the first extension 111 through the B shell.
[0031] The L-shaped cross-section of this design possesses excellent bending and torsional section moduli. The L-shaped corner is integrally bent at the end of the first housing 100, giving it extremely high structural rigidity in the load-bearing area of the connection end. This effectively resists torsional deformation caused by repeated opening and closing of the screen and accidental drops, providing a long-term stable positioning reference and physical protection for the antenna 500 housed within it. Furthermore, the L-shaped configuration of the cover 400 fits snugly with the corner portion 110, forming a continuous wave-transmitting window and a metal reflective surface. This ensures a regular shape and stable boundary conditions for the antenna 500's clearance area, facilitating impedance matching and radiation mode optimization, and improving signal transmission and reception reliability. Additionally, this configuration uses the material of the first housing 100 itself as both a structural support and a functional component (reflection / grounding) for the antenna 500, eliminating the need for additional reinforcing ribs or reflectors. This allows for the integration of mechanical and electromagnetic functions within a compact connection space.
[0032] In some embodiments, the first cover portion 420 may not be directly connected to the first extension segment 111, but rather connected to the second extension segment 112; alternatively, the cover body 400 may consist of only one main cover portion, which is connected to the second extension segment 112 and maintains a gap with the first extension segment 111. In this case, the cavity 410 is only enclosed by the cover body 400 and the second extension segment 112, and the first extension segment 111 serves only as a reinforcing rib. This solution simplifies the molding and assembly process of the cover body 400 and is suitable for scenarios where the clearance height requirements for the antenna 500 are not high. The first extension segment 111, acting independently as a reinforcing rib, can further enhance the basic structural strength of the connection end without increasing the complexity of the cover body 400. In other embodiments, the cover body 400 and the corner portion 110 are integrally molded using a two-color injection molding or insert injection molding process. Specifically, a metal first housing 100 with an L-shaped corner portion 110 is first stamped or CNC machined, and then placed into a mold as an insert. A plastic cover 400 is then injection molded, so that the first cover portion 420 and the second cover portion 430 of the cover 400 are welded or mechanically anchored to the first extension 111 and the second extension 112 of the corner portion 110, respectively. This solution eliminates assembly gaps and tolerance accumulation between the cover 400 and the corner portion 110, resulting in higher dimensional accuracy and sealing performance of the cavity 410. The integrated structural interface bonding strength is superior to that of detachable connections, further improving the overall rigidity and long-term reliability of the connection end, while also reducing the number of assembly stations on the production line.
[0033] In some embodiments, the first housing 100 may be made of a metallic material, and the cover 400 may be made of a plastic material. In other embodiments, the first housing 100 may be made of a plastic material or a carbon fiber material. It is understood that metallic materials include aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, or magnesium-lithium alloys, etc. Plastic materials include ABS (ABS is a terpolymer of acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B), and styrene (S) monomers) or PC-GF (polycarbonate PC), etc. This application uses the example of the first housing 100 being made of a metallic material and the cover 400 being made of a plastic material for illustration.
[0034] In one specific embodiment, the first housing 100 can be formed by stamping aluminum alloy sheet, and its end facing the connecting mechanism 300 is integrally formed into a corner portion 110 by bending. The cover 400 is made of glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate (PC+GF) by injection molding. The cover 400 is detachably connected to the corner portion 110 by a snap-fit structure, together enclosing the cavity 410. The antenna 500 is a flexible circuit board antenna 500, attached to the inner surface of the cover 400, with its radiating surface facing the side where the cover 400 is located. The conductivity of the aluminum alloy corner portion 110 in this solution allows it to serve as a reflector and grounding reference surface for the antenna 500. When the antenna 500 is working, the electromagnetic waves radiated backward are reflected by the corner portion 110 and superimposed with the forward radiated waves in phase, which can enhance the signal gain in the front direction of the screen. At the same time, the PC+GF plastic cover 400 has a low dielectric constant and loss tangent, and is almost transparent to radio frequency signals, which can ensure low-loss signal penetration. The metal corner portion 110 in this design can act as a reflector, directionally reflecting stray energy from the antenna 500 to the desired direction, thereby improving the antenna 500 gain. The plastic cover 400 forms a low-loss transparent window, and together the two enable the antenna 500 to achieve high radiation efficiency within a compact space. Furthermore, the metal corner portion 110 can be connected to the system ground layer through grounding components such as conductive foam, forming a shielding barrier that effectively blocks electromagnetic noise generated by the high-speed digital circuitry inside the second housing 200 from interfering with the antenna 500, thus improving receiving sensitivity. In addition, the first housing 100 serves as both an exterior surface and structural support component, and its bent corner portion 110 is reused as the RF functional structure of the antenna 500, eliminating the need for additional reflectors or grounding plates, thereby reducing the number of parts and assembly steps.
[0035] In another specific embodiment, the first housing 100 is die-cast from magnesium alloy, and the cover 400 is injection-molded from glass fiber reinforced polyamide (PA+GF). Magnesium alloy combines lightweight and high specific strength characteristics, and its conductivity meets the grounding requirements of antenna 500; polyamide has better heat resistance than polycarbonate, making it suitable for notebook models with high heat dissipation requirements. This solution can further reduce the overall weight and improve the long-term heat resistance reliability of the cover 400 while maintaining signal reflection and wave transmission functions.
[0036] In other specific embodiments, the first housing 100 is made of plastic, but the inner surface of the bend 110 formed by its bending is coated with a conductive metal layer through electroplating or sputtering to achieve electromagnetic reflection and grounding functions. The cover 400 is made of unfilled pure polycarbonate to obtain the lowest dielectric constant. This solution achieves the antenna 500 function through localized conductive treatment rather than a full metal casing, while meeting structural strength requirements. It provides an optimized antenna 500 performance solution for all-plastic laptops, balancing cost and design flexibility.
[0037] Reference Figure 2, Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments, a first connecting structure 300 is provided on the side of the corner 110 facing the cover 400, and a second connecting structure 440 is provided on the side of the cover 400 facing the corner 110. The first connecting structure 300 and the second connecting structure 440 are detachably connected. Specifically, the first connecting structure 300 can be snapped, threaded, or glued to the second connecting structure 440. A single first connecting structure 300 can be provided, or multiple first connecting structures 300 can be provided. The specific structure and number of the second connecting structures 440 can be adapted to the arrangement of the first connecting structures 300. In other embodiments, the first connecting structure 300 can be integrally connected to the second connecting structure 440. This application embodiment uses the detachable connection of the first connecting structure 300 to the second connecting structure 440 as an example for illustration. In this solution, the cover 400 can be separated from the first housing 100, facilitating the later inspection or replacement of components such as the antenna 500 and feeder within the cavity 410, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of after-sales maintenance. In other embodiments, the cover 400 is further provided with a third connecting structure 450 on the side facing the corner 110. The specific configuration of the third connecting structure 450 can be the same as that of the second connecting structure 440. The housing assembly 10 also includes a third housing 900, which can be a B-shell. The third housing 900 is provided with a fourth connecting structure 910, and the specific configuration of the fourth connecting structure 910 can be the same as that of the first connecting structure 300. The third connecting structure 450 of the cover 400 can be adapted and connected to the fourth connecting structure 910 of the third housing 900, so that the cover 400 is indirectly connected to the first housing 100. This solution can further improve the stability and reliability of the assembly connection of the cover 400.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7In some embodiments, the first connecting structure 300 includes a first slot 121, and the second connecting structure 440 includes a first locking block 441. The first locking block 441 of the second connecting structure 440 can pass through and lock into the first slot 121 of the first connecting structure 300. In other embodiments, the first connecting structure 300 includes a second locking block, and the second connecting structure 440 includes a second slot. The second locking block of the first connecting structure 300 can pass through and lock into the second slot of the second connecting structure 440. It can be understood that a single locking block or multiple locking blocks can be provided, and multiple locking blocks are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the cavity 410. The specific structure and number of the slots can be adapted to the arrangement of the locking blocks. The first connecting structure 300 and the second connecting structure 440 of this solution are easy and quick to assemble and disassemble. In other embodiments, the first locking block 441 is provided at the free end of a cantilever beam, which extends from the surface of the cover 400 or the corner portion 110 and has a certain elastic deformation capability. During engagement, the cantilever beam elastically deflects as the locking block is introduced, and springs back into the locking slot after reaching the desired position. This cantilever structure provides controllable elasticity and a longer deformation stroke, reducing reliance on the overall elasticity of the cover 400. It is suitable for materials with high rigidity and low elongation, and provides clearer tactile feedback for proper engagement.
[0039] Reference Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7In some embodiments, the first connecting structure 300 includes a first positioning groove 122, and the second connecting structure 440 includes a first positioning block 442, which passes through the first positioning groove 122. In this embodiment, a plurality of first positioning grooves 122 are spaced apart on the inner side of the first extension 111 of the corner portion 110. The first positioning groove 122 is a rectangular or circular blind hole recessed from the surface inward. Correspondingly, a first positioning block 442 protrudes from the corresponding position on the first cover portion 420 of the cover body 400. The shape of the first positioning block 442 matches the first positioning groove 122, and its end is provided with a guide chamfer. During assembly, the first positioning block 442 is first aligned and inserted into the first positioning groove 122 to complete the precise positioning of the cover body 400 in the planar direction, and then pressure is applied to complete the snap-locking. The clearance between the positioning block and the positioning groove is smaller than the clearance between the locking block and the locking groove. This allows the positioning structure to constrain assembly accuracy, while the locking structure provides the locking function. The division of labor between the positioning groove and the positioning block in this design decouples the positioning and locking functions, enabling precise control of the relative position of the cover 400 and the corner 110, ensuring uniform and consistent appearance gaps and enhancing the product's refined look. The position and / or shape of the positioning block and the positioning groove can be designed as an asymmetrical layout to prevent incorrect installation of the cover 400 and reduce human error on the production line. After the positioning block is inserted into the positioning groove, it can withstand shear forces parallel to the mating surface, complementing the locking mechanism which withstands normal pull-out forces, thus improving the overall stability of the connecting structure 300 under multi-directional loads. In other embodiments, the first connecting structure 300 includes a second positioning block, and the second connecting structure 440 includes a second positioning groove, with the second positioning block passing through the second positioning groove. It is understood that the positioning block can be single or multiple, with multiple positioning blocks arranged at intervals along the length of the cavity 410. The specific structure and number of positioning grooves can be adapted to the arrangement of the positioning blocks. In other embodiments, the positioning block can be a positioning pin independent of the cover 400, and the positioning groove can be a positioning hole penetrating the corner 110. During assembly, the positioning pin passes through the cover 400 and is inserted into the positioning hole. This solution can use metal positioning pins to obtain higher shear strength and positioning accuracy, suitable for heavy screen modules or ruggedized devices. In still some embodiments, the positioning block can be a rib extending continuously along the corner 110 or the edge of the cover 400, and the positioning groove is a continuously extending groove. The rib is embedded in the groove to achieve continuous positioning along the entire length. The continuous positioning of this solution provides uniform support lines and better sealing effect, preventing dust or liquid from entering the cavity 410 from the joint between the cover 400 and the corner 110, suitable for models with protection requirements.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are adapted to rotate relative to each other about the rotation axis 310 of the connecting mechanism 300, as shown in the figure. Figure 2Orientation: The rotation axis 310 can point from the upper left to the lower right. The cavity 410 extends parallel to the rotation axis 310, with the first port 411 and the second port 412 located at opposite ends of the cavity 410 along the rotation axis 310. Specifically, the first port 411 can be located on the right end face of the cavity 410, and the second port 412 can be located on the left end face of the cavity 410. The RF feed line 610 of the antenna 500 exits from the first port 411, descends along the left rotation axis region into the second housing 200, and connects to the wireless network card. The display signal cable exits from the second port 412, descends along the right rotation axis region into the second housing 200, and connects to the motherboard. In this design, the long axis of the cavity 410 is parallel to the rotation axis 310, so that its two ends naturally correspond to the left and right sides of the hinge. After the antenna 500 feed line and display cable are led out from both ends, they can be routed separately along the reserved channels on both sides of the hinge, naturally separating their paths and avoiding the difficulties of stacking, crossing, and binding caused by cables being led out from a single location. Furthermore, because the antenna 500 radiators are typically concentrated in the middle or at one end within the elongated cavity 410, while the first port 411 and the second port 412 are located on the far sides, the display cable's path within the cavity 410 maintains maximum distance from the antenna 500 radiators. The metal corner portion 110 forms a continuous shielding barrier along its entire length, minimizing electromagnetic interference from cable noise to the antenna 500. Additionally, this design fully utilizes the lateral space at the bottom of the screen along the hinge direction, making the cavity 410 flat and elongated. This provides sufficient clearance for the antenna 500 without increasing the thickness and height of the bottom bezel, facilitating narrow bezel and slim design. Then, because the cables can be pre-installed in the cable trays on both sides of the hinge since the cables come out at both ends, they do not interfere with each other during assembly, which simplifies the cable routing process on the production line and reduces the risk of the cables being pinched or broken.
[0041] In some embodiments, the first port 411 and the second port 412 are not located on the axial end face of the cavity 410, but are located on the side wall of the end region of the cavity 410, i.e., the opening direction is perpendicular to the rotation axis 310. For example, the first port 411 is located on the front or rear wall of the left end of the cavity 410, and the second port 412 is located on the front or rear wall of the right end of the cavity 410. The lateral opening of this solution allows the cable to directly enter the cable routing channel on the side of the hinge after being led out, avoiding bending of the cable at the axial end face, reducing the risk of stress fatigue caused by small radius bending of the cable, and extending the service life of the cable. In other embodiments, due to the hinge layout of a specific model (such as the hinge occupying the axial space at both ends of the cavity 410), the first port 411 and the second port 412 are both located at the same end of the cavity 410, but are staggered vertically or horizontally along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis 310. A metal partition is provided inside the cavity 410 to physically separate the lead-out paths of the first port 411 and the second port 412 within the cavity 410. This solution can provide a compatible solution for models where the hinge structure occupies the space at both ends. By compensating for the isolation loss caused by the same-end output through the internal partition, a certain degree of signal isolation can still be achieved within a limited space.
[0042] Reference Figures 4 to 6In some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 300 includes a first rotating shaft 320 and a second rotating shaft 330 arranged at intervals. The first rotating shaft 320 passes through at least partially through a first port 411, and the second rotating shaft 330 passes through at least partially through a second port 412. A first recessed groove 321 is provided on the side of the first rotating shaft 320 facing the second rotating shaft 330, through which a first signal transmission component 600 can be led out. A second recessed groove 331 is provided on the side of the second rotating shaft 330 facing the first rotating shaft 320, through which a second signal transmission component 700 can be led out. Specifically, the connecting mechanism 300 employs a double-shaft hinge, which includes a first rotating shaft 320 and a second rotating shaft 330 arranged at intervals along the rotation axis 310. The first rotating shaft 320 and the second rotating shaft 330 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the corner portion 110 of the first housing 100 along the length direction, and are pivotally connected to the corresponding hinge seats on the second housing 200 to realize the relative rotation of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. The cavity 410 is formed by the corner portion 110 and the cover 400, and extends along the rotation axis 310, with a first port 411 and a second port 412 respectively opened at its two ends. A part of the shaft of the first rotating shaft 320 passes into the first port 411, and a part of the shaft of the second rotating shaft 330 passes into the second port 412, with an assembly gap between the rotating shaft and the inner wall of the port. This arrangement allows the load-bearing point of the hinge to fall directly on the high-strength metal corner portion 110, and the main body of the cavity 410 is located between the two rotating shafts, forming a mechanical isolation area. A first clearance groove 321 is opened on the inner side of the first rotating shaft 320 facing the second rotating shaft 330. The first recessed groove 321 is a notch recessed from the outer circumference of the rotating shaft towards the axis, extending a certain length along the axial direction of the shaft. Correspondingly, the second rotating shaft 330 has a second recessed groove 331 on its inner surface facing the first rotating shaft 320. The radio frequency feed line 610 of the antenna 500, serving as the first signal transmission element 600, extends from the cavity 410 to the first port 411, exits through the first recessed groove 321, and enters the second housing 200 along the side of the first rotating shaft 320. The display signal cable, serving as the second signal transmission element 700, extends from the cavity 410 to the second port 412, exits through the second recessed groove 331, and enters the second housing 200 along the side of the second rotating shaft 330. The recessed groove in this design is located on the inner side of the hinge. The radial gap between the hinge and the port serves as a cable exit channel, allowing the cable path to be spatially nested with the hinge axis. This avoids the extra length and bending radius required for the cable to bypass the outer end face of the hinge, resulting in a more compact hinge structure and facilitating narrow bezel designs. Because the recessed groove is located on the inner side of the hinge, it does not affect the structural strength or aesthetic integrity of the outer side of the hinge. The main cross-section of the hinge remains intact, ensuring the hinge's load-bearing capacity and opening / closing lifespan.Furthermore, after the cable is led out of the recessed slot, it is confined within a predetermined channel. The slot wall guides and constrains the cable, preventing it from coming out during screen opening and closing or interfering with the hinge or cover during movement, thus improving the long-term reliability of the cable. The first recessed slot 321 and the second recessed slot 331 are arranged facing each other. The structural difference between the left and right hinges facilitates direction differentiation during assembly, preventing mistaken connection. At the same time, the independent existence of the two recessed slots allows the antenna 500 feed line and display cable to each have their own dedicated channel, with clear and non-intersecting paths, reducing the probability of incorrect cable connection during assembly.
[0043] In some embodiments, the first clearance slot 321 and the second clearance slot 331 are not radially open slots, but through holes extending axially along the shaft. The first signal transmission component 600 and the second signal transmission component 700 are led out after passing through the through holes of their respective shafts. The closed through holes of this solution can provide full circumferential protection for the cable, and the dustproof and wear-resistant effects are better than those of open slots, making it suitable for scenarios with higher cable reliability requirements. In other embodiments, the first shaft 320 and the second shaft 330 do not pass through the first port 411 and the second port 412, but are respectively disposed on the outer sides of both ends of the cavity 410, adjacent to the end face. The port edges of the cavity 410 are directly provided with outwardly open notches as clearance structures, and the cable is led out from the notches and enters the wiring channel on the side of the shaft. The shafts of this solution do not enter the cavity 410, which can avoid any encroachment on the clearance area of the antenna 500, maximize the effective length of the cavity 410, and is suitable for broadband antenna 500 solutions that require longer antennas 500. In other embodiments, the connecting mechanism 300 is a single-axis hinge, with only one actual rotating shaft passing through the first port 411 of the cavity 410, and a first clearance groove 321 formed on its inner side. A dummy shaft or bushing structure is provided at the second port 412, which does not participate in rotation but has the same clearance groove structure as the second rotating shaft 330. This solution can also form a symmetrical clearance groove cable exit configuration in single-axis hinge models, so that the lead-out paths of the antenna 500 feed line and the display cable remain symmetrical and consistent, which facilitates universal design and standardization of cable materials.
[0044] Reference Figures 4 to 6In some embodiments, the housing assembly 10 includes an elastic conductor 800. The elastic conductor 800 is compressed and clamped between the antenna 500 and the corner portion 110, and the elastic conductor 800 electrically connects the antenna 500 and the corner portion 110 to ground the antenna 500. Specifically, the antenna 500 can be a flexible circuit board antenna 500, attached to the inner surface of the cover 400, with its radiating surface facing the side where the cover 400 is located and its back facing the corner portion 110. The back of the antenna 500 has an exposed grounding pad. The elastic conductor 800 is provided on the inner side of the second extension 112 of the corner portion 110 at a position opposite to the grounding pad of the antenna 500. Before assembly, conductive foam is fixed to a predetermined position on the inner side of the corner portion 110 using adhesive. During assembly, the cover 400 is fastened to the corner portion 110, and the grounding pad of the antenna 500 moves with the cover 400, contacting the conductive foam and compressing the foam thickness. In the compressed state, the conductive foam, under the action of elastic restoring force, tightly adheres to the grounding pad of the antenna 500, forming a low-impedance electrical connection path. This allows the antenna 500 to be electrically connected to the metal corner portion 110 via the elastic conductor 800, and then connected to the system ground plane of the laptop computer via the corner portion 110. The elastic conductor 800 is preferably positioned close to the feed point area of the antenna 500 to shorten the grounding loop path and reduce grounding inductance. In this design, the elastic conductor 800 maintains contact pressure on the grounding pad of the antenna 500 under compressed conditions, adapting to assembly tolerances, thermal expansion and contraction, and operational vibrations. This avoids poor grounding or impedance fluctuations caused by gap changes, ensuring the long-term stability and consistency of the antenna 500 grounding loop. The elastic conductor 800 is pre-fixed to the corner portion 110, and the grounding connection is automatically completed when the cover 400 is fastened, eliminating the need for welding or additional fastening processes. This simplifies the production line assembly process and reduces the potential impact of high welding temperatures on the performance of the antenna 500. Reliable low-impedance grounding allows the metal corner portion 110 to serve as a stable reference ground plane for the antenna 500, which helps to broaden the impedance bandwidth of the antenna 500, stabilize the resonant frequency, and enhance the shielding effect of the corner portion 110 against backward interference signals. The flexible buffering effect of the elastic conductor 800 can disperse the local pressure on the antenna 500 when the cover 400 is fastened, reducing the risk of damage to the antenna 500 due to stress concentration.
[0045] In some embodiments, the elastic conductor 800 is not pre-attached to the corner portion 110, but is first soldered or attached to the grounding pad of the antenna 500 and assembled into the cavity 410 together with the antenna 500. When the cover 400 is fastened, the elastic conductor 800 is compressed and abuts against the inner side of the corner portion 110. The position of the elastic conductor 800 in this solution is determined by the design of the antenna 500, which facilitates the precise alignment of the antenna 500 with the grounding point and is suitable for scenarios where the position of the antenna 500 or the shape of the corner portion 110 is complex and visual calibration is difficult during assembly. In other embodiments, the elastic conductor 800 is in the form of an elastomer wrapped with conductive cloth, consisting of a layer of conductive fiber cloth wrapped around a rubber or silicone elastomer. Its shape can be customized according to the gap between the corner portion 110 and the antenna 500, such as using a D-shaped or P-shaped cross section, so that the compression deformation is controllable. The conductive cloth wrapped elastomer in this solution can provide a wider range of compression and a softer contact force, which is suitable for situations with large gap tolerances and provides electromagnetic shielding continuity. In other embodiments, the elastic conductor 800 is a metal spring sheet, formed by stamping and bending a thin sheet of beryllium copper or stainless steel. One end of the spring sheet is riveted or welded to the corner portion 110, and the other end forms an elastic cantilever. When the cover 400 is fastened, the spring sheet is compressed and contacts the grounding pad of the antenna 500. The metal spring sheet of this solution has high conductivity and stable positive force, low grounding inductance, and is suitable for high-frequency antennas 500. The elastic characteristics of the spring sheet can be precisely controlled through structural design, resulting in a long service life and suitability for scenarios requiring frequent disassembly and maintenance. In still some embodiments, the elastic conductor 800 is not an independent part, but a spring sheet or rib structure formed by locally stamped protrusions in the corner portion 110 itself. The protrusions directly contact the grounding pad of the antenna 500. This solution reduces independent parts and assembly processes, resulting in lower cost and higher reliability, and is suitable for metal materials with thin walls in the corner portion 110 that can be stamped and formed.
[0046] In some embodiments, the elastic conductor 800 includes conductive foam, which is adhered to the side of the corner portion 110 facing the antenna 500. Specifically, the elastic conductor 800 may be conductive foam, which is a rectangular cross-section strip with polyurethane foam as the core material and an outer layer of conductive fiber cloth. One surface of the conductive foam is coated with a voltage-sensitive adhesive and protected by release paper. During assembly, the release paper is first peeled off, and the conductive foam is adhered and fixed to a predetermined position on the side of the corner portion 110 facing the antenna 500 using the conductive adhesive. This predetermined position is the inner surface of the second extension 112 of the corner portion 110, which is directly opposite the grounding pad area on the back of the antenna 500. Uniform pressure is applied during adhesion to ensure that the conductive foam and the metal surface of the corner portion 110 form a reliable electrical connection and mechanical adhesion through the conductive particles in the adhesive. Subsequently, the antenna 500 is fixed to the inner surface of the cover 400 by means of a bracket or by direct attachment. When the cover 400 is fastened to the corner 110, the grounding pad of the antenna 500 contacts the conductive foam, compressing the conductive foam to 40% to 60% of its original thickness. Under compression, the conductive foam, through its elastic restoring force, tightly adheres to the grounding pad of the antenna 500, forming a low-impedance grounding path. The antenna 500 is connected to the laptop system ground plane via the conductive foam, the metal corner 110, and subsequent grounding connectors. The soft elasticity and high compressibility of the conductive foam in this design allow it to fully fill the uneven gap between the corner 110 and the antenna 500, maintaining stable contact even when gap changes occur due to assembly tolerances or thermal deformation, ensuring high consistency in the grounding performance of the antenna 500 across all devices in mass production. The conductive adhesive of the conductive foam directly adheres to the metal surface of the corner 110, eliminating additional contact interfaces in the grounding path, reducing grounding impedance and parasitic inductance, and providing the antenna 500 with a near-ideal grounding reference plane, which is beneficial for antenna 500 bandwidth expansion and resonant frequency stability. The conductive foam can be cut into any shape and glued in a way that allows it to be flexibly placed anywhere on the inner surface of the corner 110, without being limited by fixing holes or welding areas. This facilitates antenna 500 layout adjustments and subsequent design changes. The elastic restoring force can follow dynamic deformation, maintaining continuous contact pressure under frequent opening and closing or movement vibrations of the laptop, avoiding the problem of instantaneous contact point breakage that may occur with rigid connections.
[0047] In some embodiments, the elastic conductor 800 can be an elastomer wrapped in conductive cloth, with a core material that is a silicone rubber strip or a cylinder, and an outer layer of seamless conductive fiber woven cloth. The elastomer is attached to the corner 110 via a bottom conductive adhesive. Upon compression, the conductive cloth elastically deforms with the core material, providing uniform and gentle contact pressure. This conductive cloth-wrapped elastomer exhibits excellent wear resistance and resistance to permanent compression deformation, making it suitable for scenarios requiring long-term repeated compression. The silicone rubber core maintains elasticity over a wide temperature range, ensuring consistent grounding reliability in high and low temperature environments. In other embodiments, the elastic conductor 800 uses conductive rubber, which is a molded part made by filling a silicone rubber or fluorosilicone rubber matrix with conductive fillers such as conductive carbon black, silver powder, or silver-plated particles. The conductive rubber is attached to the corner 110 with conductive adhesive, and its shape can be customized to a specific cross-section. Upon compression, the conductive rubber's own elastic deformation provides contact pressure, while its inherent resistance forms a grounding path. This conductive rubber can be molded into complex three-dimensional shapes, suitable for non-planar or stepped grounding interfaces. It provides high contact pressure and electromagnetic sealing effect, making it suitable for scenarios requiring simultaneous grounding and dust and moisture protection. In other embodiments, the elastic conductor 800 is not bonded but welded to the side of the corner 110 facing the antenna 500. When the corner 110 is made of metal, the bottom of the conductive foam has a solder pad, which is fixed to the inner surface of the corner 110 by spot welding or reflow soldering. This welding fixation provides higher connection strength and durability than bonding, and lower grounding impedance, making it suitable for ruggedized laptops with stringent long-term reliability requirements. In still some embodiments, the elastic conductor 800 is fixed to the corner 110 by a mechanical structure instead of bonding. The inner surface of the corner 110 has a T-groove or dovetail groove, and the bottom of the elastic conductor 800 has a matching cross-section. It is fixed by sliding or pressing into the groove, with its contact surface protruding outside the groove and contacting the antenna 500. The elastic conductor 800 in this solution can be replaced without tools, facilitating maintenance. Mechanical mounting avoids the risk of displacement caused by adhesive aging or high-temperature softening, and is suitable for models with high heat dissipation requirements and high internal temperatures.
[0048] A second aspect of this invention provides a laptop computer, comprising the housing assembly 10 described in the above embodiments. A display module can be disposed in a first housing 100, and a data processing module can be disposed in a second housing 200. This solution effectively reduces the impact of electromagnetic interference on the signal reception performance of the antenna 500, and it does not require encroaching on the display area, thus contributing to the overall narrow bezel and thinness of the laptop. Compared to a solution where a flat housing and a U-shaped cover jointly enclose a cavity, this solution uses a corner portion 110 and a cover 400 to jointly enclose a cavity 410. The corner portion 110, integrally bent at the end of the first housing 100, possesses excellent structural strength, providing stable support for the cavity 410 and the antenna 500, reducing deformation caused by bending or external forces, and improving the stability of the antenna 500 and the long-term reliability of the entire device. Meanwhile, because the shielding effectiveness of the cover 400 for radio frequency signals is lower than that of the first housing 100, the low shielding effectiveness of the cover 400 ensures low-loss penetration of the antenna 500 signal. The corner 110 formed by the first housing 100 can act as a signal reflector, directionally reflecting stray signals from the antenna 500 backwards and outwards, enhancing the radiation gain of the antenna 500 in the target direction, and effectively improving the reliability of signal transmission and communication quality. Furthermore, the cavity 410 has a first port 411 and a second port 412. The first signal transmission element 600 and other second signal transmission elements 700 of the antenna 500 are respectively led out from the first port 411 and the second port 412, achieving physical isolation between the radio frequency signal path and the non-radio frequency signal path, effectively reducing crosstalk and optimizing the internal cable layout.
