[0045] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be comprehensive and complete and fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted. In addition, the drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0046] Although relative terms such as "upper" and "lower" are used in this specification to describe the relative relationship of one component of the illustration to another component, these terms are used in this specification only for convenience, such as according to the orientation of the examples described in the drawings. It is understood that if the device of the illustration is turned upside down, the component described as "upper" will become the component "lower". When a structure is "on" other structures, it may mean that the structure is formed integrally on the other structure, or that the structure is "directly" disposed on the other structure, or that the structure is "indirectly" disposed on the other structure through another structure.

[0047] The terms "a", "an", "the", "said" and "at least one" are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms "including" and "having" are used to express an open-ended inclusive meaning and mean that additional elements / components / etc. may exist in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.; the terms "first", "second" and "third" etc. are used merely as labels and are not intended to limit the quantity of their objects.

[0048] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. "And / or" is just a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the previous and next associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0049] The inventors found that the main reason why the antenna assembly 3 is very easy to be damaged after reliability tests such as drop / roll is that during reliability tests such as drop / roll, the housing 1 of the electronic device is easily deformed, and the antenna assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The housing 1 will drive the antenna assembly 3 to contact the bracket 2 in the housing 1, causing the antenna assembly 3 to be compressed multiple times, thereby making the antenna assembly 3 very easy to be damaged, resulting in failure of the antenna assembly 3 function.

[0050] The exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides an electronic device, referring to Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, Figure 1 Since the antenna component 3 is blocked, Figure 1 The antenna assembly 3 is not shown in the figure. The electronic device may include a housing 1, a bracket 2 and an antenna assembly 3; the housing 1 may include a first part 11 and a second part 12 connected to each other; at least a part of the bracket 2 is arranged in the housing 1, the bracket 2 abuts against the first part 11, and an accommodating space 9 is provided between the bracket 2 and the second part 12; the antenna assembly 3 is arranged in the accommodating space 9, the antenna assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and a gap is provided between at least a part of the antenna assembly 3 and the bracket 2, or the antenna assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the bracket 2, and a gap is provided between the antenna assembly 3 and the housing 1.

[0051] The electronic device disclosed in the present invention, during the reliability test process such as drop / roll, even if the housing 1 of the electronic device is deformed, it is possible to prevent the housing 1 from driving the antenna component 3 to contact the bracket 2 in the housing 1 and causing the antenna component to be compressed multiple times, so that the antenna component 3 is not easily damaged, ensuring the function of the antenna component 3. Alternatively, during the reliability test process such as drop / roll, even if the housing 1 of the electronic device is deformed, due to the gap between the antenna component 3 and the housing 1, the deformed housing 1 is less likely to contact the antenna component 3, thereby avoiding multiple compression of the antenna component 3 by the housing 1 and the bracket 2, so that the antenna component 3 is not easily damaged, ensuring the function of the antenna component 3.

[0052] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the housing 1 may be a rear housing of an electronic device. The housing 1 may include a bottom plate 13 and a side plate 14 connected to each other, and the side plate 14 is arranged around the bottom plate 13; specifically, the side plates 14 may be provided in three pieces, and the three side plates 14 may be a first side plate 14a and two second side plates 14b, and the bottom plate 13 may be provided in a rectangular plate, and a first flat side plate 14a and two second side plates 14b may be arranged around the bottom plate 13, and the second side plate 14b, the first side plate 14a and the other second side plate 14b are sequentially connected and arranged around the three sides of the bottom plate 13, so that no side plate 14 is provided on one side of the bottom plate 13.

[0053] Of course, in some other example embodiments of the present disclosure, the base plate 13 may be configured to be circular, elliptical, or other various polygonal shapes, etc., and a cylindrical or elliptical side plate 14 may be provided around the base plate 13, or four, five or more flat side plates 14 may be provided around the base plate 13.

[0054] The housing 1 may be an integrally formed structure, that is, the bottom plate 13 and the side plate 14 are integrally formed structures. For example, when the housing 1 is made of metal, the housing 1 may be formed by an integrally formed process such as a stamping process or a stretching process; when the housing 1 is made of plastic, resin, etc., the housing 1 may be formed by an integrally formed process such as an injection molding process. The integrally formed structure makes the manufacturing process of the housing 1 relatively simple, the sealing performance is better, and the connection strength between the bottom plate 13 and the side plate 14 of the housing 1 is relatively high.

[0055] Moreover, the housing 1 may further include an arcuate connecting plate 17, which is connected between the bottom plate 13 and the first side plate 14a, the bottom plate 13 and the second side plate 14b, and the adjacent first side plate 14a and the second side plate 14b, so that the bottom plate 13 and the first side plate 14a, the bottom plate 13 and the second side plate 14b, and the adjacent first side plate 14a and the second side plate 14b have a smooth transition connection.

[0056] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the antenna component 3 can be an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) antenna. The working principle of the FPC antenna is based on the propagation and radiation of electromagnetic waves. When a high-frequency signal passes through the antenna wire, an electromagnetic wave is generated and propagated to the receiving end through the air. The FPC antenna includes a substrate layer, a wire and a connecting pin 31. The substrate layer is a flexible material, for example, the material of the substrate layer can be polyimide or polyester film. The wire of the FPC antenna is generally made of copper foil or aluminum foil, and it is fixed to the substrate layer through a special process. Magnetic materials are connected to both ends of the wire to enhance signal transmission and reception. The wire shape of the FPC antenna can be straight, curved or spiral, and is designed according to specific application requirements. Moreover, the FPC antenna is flexible and can be bent appropriately following the structure of the housing 1 or bracket 2 to which it is fixed. The wire length and width of the FPC antenna will affect the operating frequency and radiation effect of the antenna. Generally speaking, the longer the wire length, the lower the operating frequency of the antenna; the larger the wire width, the better the radiation effect of the antenna.

[0057] The antenna assembly 3 is provided with a connecting pin 31 , and the antenna assembly 3 can be electrically connected to electronic components such as a controller through the connecting pin 31 to realize the communication function of the FPC antenna.

[0058] Of course, the antenna component 3 can also be a near field communication (NFC) antenna.

[0059] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the bracket 2 may include a bottom support plate 21 and a side support plate 22, and the side support plate 22 is arranged around the bottom support plate; specifically, the bottom support plate may be set to three, and the three bottom support plates may be a first side support plate 22a and two second side support plates 22b, and the bottom support plate 21 may be set to a rectangular plate, and a first flat side support plate 22a and two second side support plates 22b may be arranged around the bottom support plate 21, and the second side support plate 22b, the first side support plate 22a and the other second side support plate 22b are sequentially connected and arranged around the three sides of the bottom support plate 21, so that no side support plate 22 is arranged on one side of the bottom support plate 21.

[0060] Of course, in some other example embodiments of the present disclosure, the bottom support plate 21 may be configured to be circular, elliptical, or other various polygonal shapes, etc., and a cylindrical or elliptical side support plate 22 may be provided around the periphery of the bottom support plate 21, or four, five or more flat side support plates 22 may be provided around the periphery of the bottom support plate 21.

[0061] The bottom plate 13 is arranged opposite to the bottom support plate 21, and the side plate 14 is arranged opposite to the side support plate 22, that is, the first side plate 14a is arranged opposite to the first side support plate 22a, and the two second side plates 14b are arranged opposite to the two second side support plates 22b in a one-to-one correspondence. The bottom support plate 21 is arranged in the housing 1, and most of the first side support plate 22a and the two second side support plates 22b close to the bottom support plate 21 are arranged in the housing 1, so that a part of the bracket 2 is arranged in the housing 1. Of course, the entire bracket 2 can also be arranged in the housing 1.

[0062] Moreover, a limiting strip 23 is connected to the side of the side support plate 22 away from the bottom support plate 21, the limiting strip 23 protrudes from the side support plate 22 toward the side close to the shell 1, and the limiting strip 23 is laid on the side of the side plate 14 away from the bottom plate 13; specifically, the limiting strip 23 is connected to the side of the first side support plate 22a and the two second side support plates 22b away from the bottom support plate 21, and the limiting strip 23 arranged on the first side support plate 22a and the two second side support plates 22b are connected as a whole; the limiting strip 23 protrudes from the first side support plate 22a and the second side support plate 22b toward the side close to the shell 1.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the limit strip 23 is arranged on the side of the side plate 14 away from the bottom plate 13, the distance between the side of the limit strip 23 close to the bottom plate 13 and the side of the bottom plate 13 close to the bracket 2 is H1, the distance between the side of the limit strip 23 close to the bottom plate 13 and the side of the bottom support plate 21 close to the bottom plate 13 is H2, H1 is greater than H2 so that an accommodating space 9 can also be formed between the bottom plate 13 and the bottom support plate 21.

[0064] Of course, in some other exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the limiting strips 23 may be connected only to the two second side support plates 22b, and not connected to the first side support plate 22a; the limiting strips 23 may also be provided as a multi-segment structure with a middle break. Moreover, the bracket 2 may not include the limiting strips 23, that is, the limiting strips 23 are not provided on the first side support plate 22a and the two second side support plates 22b on the side away from the bottom support plate 21.

[0065] The bracket 2 may be an integrally formed structure, that is, the limit strip 23, the bottom support plate 21, the first side support plate 22a and the second side support plate 22b are integrally formed structures, that is, the limit strip 23, the bottom support plate 21, the first side support plate 22a and the second side support plate 22b are formed by an integral forming process. For example, when the material of the bracket 2 is metal, the bracket 2 may be formed by an integral forming process such as a stamping process or a stretching process; when the material of the bracket 2 is plastic, resin, etc., the bracket 2 may be formed by an injection molding process. The integrally formed structure makes the preparation process of the bracket 2 relatively simple, and the connection strength between the bottom support plate 21 of the bracket 2 and the side plate 14 is relatively high.

[0066] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, a recessed structure 15 is provided on the wall surface of the outer shell 1 near the antenna assembly 3. The recessed structure 15 can form at least a part of the accommodating space 9, so that the recessed structure 15 is the second part 12 of the outer shell 1. For example, the recessed structure 15 can form a part of the accommodating space 9, or the recessed structure 15 can form the entire accommodating space 9.

[0067] Specifically, the recessed structure 15 is provided at the corners of the first side plate 14a and the second side plate 14b connected to each other and the bottom plate 13 connected to the first side plate 14a and the second side plate 14b of the housing 1, so that the recessed structure 15 is located at the corner where the three sides of the housing 1 are connected. Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the antenna assembly 3 can be bent to form a structure having three interconnected planes.

[0068] In the case where the recessed structure 15 forms the entirety of the accommodation space 9 , the depth of the recessed structure 15 is greater than the thickness of the antenna assembly 3 .

[0069] In the case where the recessed structure 15 forms a part of the accommodation space 9, the depth of the recessed structure 15 may be less than or equal to the thickness of the antenna assembly 3, or the depth of a part of the recessed structure 15 may be less than or equal to the thickness of a part of the antenna assembly 3. For example, the depth of the recessed structure 15 provided on the first side plate 14a and the second side plate 14b may be greater than the thickness of the antenna assembly 3 in the recessed structure 15 fixed on the first side plate 14a and the second side plate 14b. Due to the limitation of the limiting strip 23, a part of the accommodation space 9 can also be formed between the bottom plate 13 and the bottom support plate 21. Therefore, the depth of the recessed structure 15 provided at the corner of the bottom plate 13 is not greater than the thickness of the antenna assembly 3 in the recessed structure 15 fixed on the bottom plate 13.

[0070] It is configured in this way that, when the antenna component 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, a gap is provided between at least a portion of the antenna component 3 and the bracket 2, and the width of the gap between at least a portion of the antenna component 3 and the bracket 2 is greater than or equal to 0.15 mm and less than or equal to 0.4 mm. For example, the width of the gap between at least a portion of the antenna component 3 and the bracket 2 may be 0.18 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.22 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.27 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.33 mm, 0.35 mm, 0.38 mm, and the like; or, when the antenna component 3 is fixedly connected to the bracket 2, a gap is provided between the antenna component 3 and the housing 1, and the width of the gap between the antenna component 3 and the housing 1 is greater than or equal to 0.15 mm and less than or equal to 0.4 mm. For example, the width of the gap between the antenna component 3 and the housing 1 may be 0.18 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.22 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.27 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.33 mm, 0.35 mm, 0.38 mm, and the like.

[0071] If the width of the gap between at least part of the antenna assembly 3 and the bracket 2 is set too small, the housing 1 of the electronic device is prone to deformation during reliability tests such as drop / roll, and the housing 1 will cause the antenna assembly 3 to come into contact with the bracket 2 inside the housing 1, causing the antenna assembly 3 to be compressed multiple times, making it very easy for the antenna assembly 3 to be damaged, resulting in failure of the antenna assembly 3.

[0072] If the width of the gap between at least part of the antenna assembly 3 and the bracket 2 is set too large, it will occupy a larger space inside the housing 1, which is not conducive to improving the space utilization of the housing 1 and the lightweight setting of the electronic device.

[0073] The above numerical range not only ensures that the gap between at least part of the antenna assembly 3 and the bracket 2 is appropriate, but also, during reliability tests such as dropping / rolling, even if the housing 1 of the electronic device is deformed, it can prevent the housing 1 from causing the antenna assembly 3 to come into contact with the bracket 2 inside the housing 1 and being subjected to pressure multiple times, so that the antenna assembly 3 is not easily damaged to ensure the function of the antenna assembly 3; moreover, it avoids affecting the space utilization of the housing 1 to ensure the thin and light setting of the electronic device.

[0074] If the width of the gap between the antenna component 3 and the housing 1 is set too small, the housing 1 of the electronic device is prone to deformation during reliability tests such as drop / roll tests. The deformed housing 1 will squeeze the antenna component 3 multiple times, making it very easy for the antenna component 3 to be damaged, resulting in malfunction of the antenna component 3.

[0075] If the width of the gap between the antenna assembly 3 and the housing 1 is set too large, it will occupy a larger space inside the housing 1, which is not conducive to improving the space utilization of the housing 1 and is not conducive to the lightweight setting of the electronic device.

[0076] The above numerical range not only ensures that the gap between the antenna assembly 3 and the bracket 2 is appropriate, but also that during reliability tests such as drop / roll tests, even if the housing 1 of the electronic device is deformed, the deformed housing 1 is less likely to contact the antenna assembly 3, thereby avoiding multiple squeezing of the antenna assembly 3 by the housing 1 and the bracket 2, making it difficult for the antenna assembly 3 to be damaged, thereby ensuring the function of the antenna assembly 3; moreover, it avoids affecting the space utilization of the housing 1 to ensure the thin and light setting of the electronic device.

[0077] It should be noted that, since the connection pin 31 of the antenna assembly 3 needs to be electrically connected to the circuit board on the bracket 2, there is no gap between the connection pin 31 and the circuit board on the bracket 2, so that when the antenna assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, the gap between the antenna assembly 3 and the bracket 2 means that there is a gap between the position of the antenna assembly 3 except the connection pin 31 and the bracket 2. Moreover, the connection pin 31 of the antenna assembly 3 can be electrically connected to the circuit board on the bracket 2 through a spring sheet, which has a certain elasticity. Even if the housing 1 of the electronic device is deformed, the housing 1 drives the antenna assembly 3 to vibrate so that the connection pin 31 contacts the spring sheet multiple times and is compressed, the spring sheet will be compressed by force, and the connection pin 31 of the antenna assembly 3 will not be damaged and fail.

[0078] Of course, in some other example embodiments of the present disclosure, when the connection pins 31 of the antenna assembly 3 do not need to be electrically connected to the circuit board on the bracket 2, a gap may be provided between the antenna assembly 3 as a whole and the bracket 2.

[0079] In this case, the other part of the housing 1 can abut against the bracket 2, so that the other part of the housing 1 is the first part 11 of the housing 1. Compared with "connection", "abutment" emphasizes the existence of force between the two; that is, "abutment" reflects the state of force between the bracket 2 and the first part 11.

[0080] In some other exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 8 As shown, a recessed portion 24 may be provided on the wall surface of the bracket 2 close to the antenna assembly 3, and the recessed portion 24 may form at least a portion of the accommodation space 9, for example, the recessed portion 24 may form a portion of the accommodation space 9, or the entire accommodation space 9, so that the antenna assembly 3 may be provided in the recessed portion 24 on the bracket 2. In this case, a portion of the housing 1 disposed opposite to the recessed portion 24 may be the second portion 12 of the housing 1, and the remaining portion may be the first portion 11 of the housing 1.
