[0026] Here, in combination with the drawings, the technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementation manners") of the present application will be clearly and completely described. When the following description involves the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides an electronic device, including: a main board 1, a signal transmission line 2 and an antenna board 3. The antenna board 3 can be a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) board. The signal transmission line 2 includes opposite first end 21 and second end 22. The first end 21 is connected to the main board 1 through a BTB (board-to-board) connector, and the second end 22 is fixedly soldered to the antenna board 3.

[0029] The electronic device provided by the present application can be a smart phone, a tablet computer and other devices, and the present application does not limit this.

[0030] The signal transmission line 2 of the electronic device provided by this application is integrated with the antenna board 3 by welding, and there is no need to connect the signal transmission line 2 and the antenna board 3 through a BTB connector, thus saving space, reducing the thickness of the electronic device, and making the manufacturing process simpler.

[0031] Please refer Figures 1 to 3 As shown, along the thickness direction of the antenna board 3, the second end 22 partially overlaps with the antenna board 3, and a plurality of through holes 201 are provided on the second end 22 for solder to pass through to fix the second end 22 to the antenna board 3.

[0032] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the second end 22 of the signal transmission line 2 is superimposed on the antenna board 3. The second end 22 can be located above the antenna board 3 or below the antenna board 3, and this application does not limit this. A plurality of through holes 201 are provided on the second end 22 for solder to pass through to fix the second end 22 to the antenna board 3.

[0033] At the contact position between the second end 22 and the antenna board 3, multiple solder joints 32 can be additionally provided. In addition to the solder passing through the through holes 201 to fix the second end 22 to the antenna board 3, the solder can also be provided on the solder joints 32 to fix the second end 22 to the antenna board 3, thereby further improving the connection stability between the second end 22 and the antenna board 3.

[0034] In another embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the antenna board 3 is a multilayer board, and the second end 22 of the signal transmission line 2 is located in the inner layer of the antenna board 3. The through holes 201 penetrate the outer layer board of the antenna board 3 for solder to pass through to fix the second end to the antenna board 3.

[0035] Please refer Figure 4 shown, the signal transmission line 2 includes a transmission line body 23 and a coating layer 24 that coats the transmission line body 23. The coating layer 24 is made of a modified polyimide material or a liquid crystal polymer material with a lower dielectric constant and loss factor. Preferably, the coating layer 24 is made of a modified polyimide material.

[0036] The coating layer 24 made of the modified polyimide material has excellent high-temperature stability, good structural stability, and good ductility, enabling the coating layer 24 to be made thinner and lighter while still having stable structural strength, being easily stretchable and able to maintain its shape under large stresses. Using the modified polyimide material to make the coating layer 24 can save space and make the electronic device thinner and lighter.

[0037] Please refer Figures 3 to 5As shown, the through hole 201 is provided on the coating layer 24 and on one side of the transmission line body 23. When the through hole 201 is provided, it is necessary to avoid the transmission line body 23 to prevent damage and interference to the transmission line body 23 during welding. The antenna board 3 further includes a connecting member 4, and the transmission line body 23 is electrically connected to the antenna board 3 through the connecting member 4.

[0038] The connecting member 4 can be a conductive metal sheet, conductive rubber, conductive fiber, etc., and the present application does not limit this. The connecting member 4 is provided on the outer layer of the antenna board 3, and the transmission line body 23 is located on the inner layer of the antenna board 3 and is electrically connected to the connecting member 4. The minimum distance X1 between the connecting member 4 of the antenna board 3 and the second end 22 is greater than or equal to 8 mm.

[0039] A plurality of grounding points 31 are also provided on the antenna board 3, and the maximum distance X2 between the plurality of grounding points 31 and the second end 22 is less than or equal to 12.5 mm.

[0040] By controlling the minimum distance between the connecting member 4 and the second end 22 to be greater than or equal to 8 mm, and the maximum distance between the grounding point 31 and the second end 22 to be less than or equal to 12.5 mm, the influence of the signal transmission line 2 on the performance of the antenna board 3 when the signal transmission line 2 and the antenna board 3 are directly welded and fixed without passing through the BTB connector can be reduced. Through simulation analysis, the overall efficiency of the signal transmission line 2 and the antenna board 3 is -6 dB, which can meet the performance requirements of the antenna, so as to make the electronic device thinner and lighter while preventing problems such as signal instability when the user uses the electronic device.

[0041] Please refer Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the electronic device provided by the present application further includes a frame body 6, and the frame body 6 encloses a receiving cavity, and the main board 1, the signal transmission line 2 and the antenna board 3 are all located in the receiving cavity.

[0042] A switch assembly 5 is further provided on the antenna board 3, and the signal transmission line 2 includes various transmission lines such as an antenna signal source line and a switch signal line. The switch assembly 5 is connected to the connecting member 4 by arranging a wire on the inner layer of the antenna board 3, so that the switch assembly 5 can be electrically connected to the switch signal line, thereby transmitting the switch signal to the antenna board 3, so that the antenna board 3 can switch between a low frequency band, a medium frequency band or a high frequency band.

[0043] The switch assembly 5 can be a double switch assembly or a triple switch assembly. The minimum distance between the switch assembly 5 and the second end 22 is controlled to be greater than or equal to 8 mm.

[0044] In one embodiment, the switch assembly is a double switch assembly (not shown). The double switch assembly enables the antenna board 3 to switch between a medium frequency band and a high frequency band, or between a medium frequency band and a low frequency band, or between a low frequency band and a high frequency band.

[0045] In another embodiment, the switch assembly is a three-switch assembly. The three-switch assembly includes a medium-high frequency band switch assembly 51 and a low frequency band switch assembly 52.

[0046] The medium-high frequency band switch assembly 51 includes a first switch 512 and a second switch 513. The low frequency band switch assembly 52 includes a third switch 522. One ends of the first switch 512 and the second switch 513 are respectively connected to the frame 6, and the opposite ends are respectively connected to the signal transmission line 2. One end of the third switch 522 is connected to the frame 6, and the opposite end is connected to the signal transmission line 2.

[0047] The medium-high frequency band switch assembly 51 further includes a first signal source 511, and the first signal source 511 is a medium-high frequency band signal source. The low frequency band switch assembly 52 further includes a second signal source 521, and the second signal source 521 is a low frequency band signal source. By controlling the opening and closing of the first switch 512, the second switch 513 and the third switch 522, the antenna board 3 can be switched between low, medium and high frequency bands when working.

[0048] The frame 6 includes a first frame 61 and a second frame 62. One end of the first switch 512 is connected to the first frame 61, and one ends of the second switch 513 and the third switch 522 are respectively connected to the second frame 62. There is a gap 63 between the first frame 61 and the second frame 62, so as to prevent interference between the medium and high frequency bands. Preferably, the width of the gap 63 needs to be greater than or equal to 0.5 mm and less than or equal to 2 mm.

[0049] Since the frame 6 usually also has the function of an antenna, in order to prevent the signal transmission line 2 from interfering with the frame 6, the distance between the signal transmission line 2 and the frame 6 needs to be greater than or equal to 5.6 mm.
