[0042] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by this application more clearly understood, this application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0043] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and technologies are presented for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present application. However, those skilled in the art should clearly understand that the present application can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid unnecessary details from interfering with the description of the present application.

[0044] It should be understood that when used in the specification of the present application and the appended claims, the term "comprising" indicates the presence of the described features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or their combinations.

[0045] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" or the like described in the specification of the present application mean that specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment are included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Thus, statements such as "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in other some embodiments", "in still other embodiments", etc. that appear in different places in this specification do not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways. The terms "comprising", "including", "having", and their variants all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways.

[0046] In the related art, the area occupied by the antenna structure is relatively large, and the antenna performance is easily interfered by other metal components on the bracket. To solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a vertical antenna structure, specifically:

[0047] A vertical antenna structure includes a metal bracket and a fixing cover;

[0048] An opening is provided on the metal bracket;

[0049] The fixing cover is arranged on the metal bracket;

[0050] A vertical antenna board is provided on the fixing cover;

[0051] The vertical antenna board is opposite to the opening, and the vertical antenna board is used to arrange the antenna.

[0052] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: A vertical antenna board is provided on the fixing cover to avoid parallel arrangement of the antennas, so as to reduce the area occupied by the antenna structure on the metal bracket. At the same time, the vertical antenna board is opposite to the opening on the metal bracket, so that the radiation direction of the antenna is the same as the direction of the opening on the metal bracket, thereby reducing the interference of the metal bracket on the antenna signal.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, the metal bracket includes a first metal plate, a second metal plate, and a third metal plate; the first metal plate, the second metal plate, and the third metal plate are connected end to end in sequence to form a first opening and a second opening;

[0054] The vertical antenna plate includes a first vertical antenna plate and a second vertical antenna plate;

[0055] The first vertical antenna plate faces the first opening;

[0056] The second vertical antenna plate faces the second opening.

[0057] As can be seen from the above description, since the first metal plate, the second metal plate, and the third metal plate are connected end to end in sequence, there are two openings in the triangular prism space. Therefore, vertical antenna plates are arranged at the two openings respectively to expand the coverage area of the antenna and improve the antenna performance.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, the planes where the first vertical antenna plate and the second vertical antenna plate are located are both perpendicular to the first metal plate, the second metal plate, and the third metal plate.

[0059] As can be seen from the above description, the vertical antenna plates are perpendicular to the metal plates to avoid the antennas being parallel to the metal plates, so as to reduce the interference of the metal plates on the antenna signals.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present application, the metal bracket may further include a fourth metal plate. The first metal plate, the second metal plate, the third metal plate, and the fourth metal plate are connected end to end in sequence to form a quadrangular prism structure, and the first opening and the second opening are formed on the opposite sides of the quadrangular prism structure respectively.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, the first vertical antenna plate and the second vertical antenna plate are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the fixed cover;

[0062] The first vertical antenna plate and the second vertical antenna plate are on the same straight line.

[0063] As can be seen from the above description, the two vertical antenna plates are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the fixed cover to avoid the two antennas being too close to affect the radiation performance. At the same time, the two vertical antenna plates are arranged on the same straight line, so as to avoid the vertical antennas occupying too much space and strengthen the radiation performance of the antennas in a specific direction.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, the first vertical antenna plate and the second vertical antenna plate are arranged on the side of the fixed cover close to the first metal plate.

[0065] As can be seen from the above description, two vertical antenna plates are arranged on one side close to the first metal plate, so as to reserve space for other modules in the bracket and facilitate the assembly of other modules.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, the fixing cover includes a first cover portion, a second cover portion and a third cover portion;

[0067] The first cover portion and the second cover portion are respectively arranged at both ends of the third cover portion on one side close to the first metal plate;

[0068] The first vertical antenna plate is arranged on the side of the first cover portion away from the third metal plate;

[0069] The second vertical antenna plate is arranged on the side of the second cover portion away from the third metal plate;

[0070] The inner cavity of the third cover portion is used for assembling the main board.

[0071] As can be seen from the above description, the main board is arranged in the inner cavity of the third cover portion, and at the same time, two vertical antenna plates are arranged on the first cover portion and the second cover portion, increasing the distance between the main board and the antenna, so as to avoid the main board affecting the radiation performance of the antenna.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, the distance between the sides of the first vertical antenna plate and the second vertical antenna plate away from the first metal plate is less than the distance between the sides of the first vertical antenna plate and the second vertical antenna plate close to the first metal plate, so that the first vertical antenna plate is inclined relative to the first open end, and the second vertical antenna plate is inclined relative to the second open end.

[0073] As can be seen from the above description, since the two vertical antenna plates are close to the first metal plate, the first vertical antenna plate and the second vertical antenna plate are arranged obliquely to avoid the first metal plate blocking the vertical antenna plates, so that the antenna signals on the two vertical antenna plates can be better radiated from the open ends.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, a functional cabin is arranged on the side of the first vertical antenna plate away from the first open end;

[0075] The functional cabin is used for assembling functional modules.

[0076] As can be seen from the above description, by arranging the functional cabin on the first vertical antenna plate, space is reserved for other functional modules newly added inside the subsequent bracket. 4]

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, a reinforcing rib is arranged on the side of the second vertical antenna plate away from the second open end.

[0078] As can be seen from the above description, by arranging the reinforcing rib, the strength of the vertical antenna plate is ensured and the plate is prevented from bending.

[0079] Another embodiment of the present utility model provides an electronic device, including the above-mentioned vertical antenna structure.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can be a cash register, a self-service terminal, a payment device, etc.
