[0034] The antenna connection assembly of the embodiment of the present application is described below.

[0035] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a partial exploded view of an electronic device provided in some embodiments of the present application. The antenna connection assembly 100 includes a mainboard bracket 1, an antenna 2, and a mainboard 3.

[0036] The motherboard bracket 1 may have a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 facing each other. The first surface 11 and the second surface 12 may be two opposite surfaces of the motherboard bracket 1 in the height direction of the electronic device 1000.

[0037] The motherboard bracket 1 and antenna 2 can be integrally formed. Specifically, the motherboard bracket 1 and antenna 2 can be integrally formed by injection molding. This eliminates the need for assembly of the antenna 2 through assembly, CNC machining, or other methods, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the electronic device 1000. Furthermore, this reduces the difficulty of assembling the electronic device 1000, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the electronic device 1000.

[0038] For example, the antenna 2 may be made of metal, such as steel, copper, or the like.

[0039] The antenna 2 may include a first connecting section 21, a second connecting section 22, and a third connecting section 23 connected in sequence. Specifically, one end of the second connecting section 22 is connected to the first connecting section 21, and the other end is connected to the third connecting section 23.

[0040] The first connecting section 21 can be disposed on the first surface 11. The second connecting section 22 can penetrate the mainboard bracket 1. The third connecting section 23 can be disposed on the second surface 12. Specifically, the first connecting section 21 and the third connecting section 23 are located on the first and second surfaces 11, 12, respectively, facing each other on the mainboard bracket 1. To connect the first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22, the mainboard bracket 1 can have a through hole extending through the first and second surfaces 11, 12. The second connecting section 22 can also penetrate the through hole, thereby connecting the first connecting section 21 and the third connecting section 23. This helps reduce the manufacturing cost of the antenna 2. Furthermore, the mainboard bracket 1 can also be used to limit and secure the antenna 2, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the antenna connection assembly 100.

[0041] The mainboard 3 can be disposed on the second surface 12 . The mainboard bracket 1 can be used to fix and support the mainboard 3 .

[0042] An antenna shrapnel 31 can be provided on the side of the mainboard 3 facing the third connecting section 23. A contact can be provided on the side of the third connecting section 23 facing away from the first connecting section 21. The antenna shrapnel 31 can be connected to the contact. Specifically, the orthographic projection of the contact onto the plane of the mainboard 3 can be located within the mainboard 3. The contact on the third connecting section 23 is connected to the mainboard 3 via the antenna shrapnel 31. The antenna shrapnel 31 can be soldered and mounted on the mainboard 3 using surface mounting technology (SMT). This enables the reception and transmission of antenna signals.

[0043] According to the antenna connection assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application, by integrally forming the mainboard bracket 1 and the antenna 2, it is possible to avoid assembly of the antenna 2 through assembly, CNC machining, or other methods, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the electronic device 1000. This also reduces the difficulty of assembling the electronic device 1000, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the electronic device 1000. Furthermore, the different positioning of the first connecting section 21, the second connecting section 22, and the third connecting section 23 allows for a better connection between the antenna 2 and the mainboard bracket 1, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna connection assembly 100.

[0044] Please continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, the antenna 2 is integrally formed with the motherboard support 1 through an injection molding process. This allows the antenna 2 and motherboard support 1 to be bonded together through in-mold injection molding, eliminating the need for adhesives or other consumables for connection. This simple and cost-effective manufacturing method helps reduce the manufacturing cost of the electronic device 1000. Furthermore, the connection between the antenna 2 and motherboard support 1 is more stable.

[0045] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of an antenna connection assembly provided in some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the third connecting segment 23 can be located outside the orthographic projection of the first connecting segment 21 on the plane where the third connecting segment 23 is located. Specifically, in the height direction of the electronic device 1000, the third connecting segment 23 does not overlap with the first connecting segment 21. The second connecting segment 22 connecting the first connecting segment 21 and the third connecting segment 23 can be tilted or formed into a special shape, thereby increasing the contact area between the second connecting segment 22 and the motherboard bracket 1, thereby improving the fixing effect of the antenna 2.

[0046] Please continue reading Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first surface 11 is parallel to the second surface 12, and the second connecting segment 22 extends perpendicular to the second surface 12. Specifically, the second connecting segment 22 is perpendicular to both the first surface 11 and the second surface 12. Thus, the length of the second connecting segment 22 can be reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the electronic device 1000.

[0047] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3Schematic diagram of an antenna connection assembly provided in some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the second surface 12 may have a mounting groove 121. The third connecting segment 23 is disposed within the mounting groove 121. Specifically, the mounting groove 121 is recessed from the second surface 12 toward the first surface 11, and the shape of the mounting groove 121 may be the same as that of the third connecting segment 23. Thus, the mounting groove 121 can be used to locate the mounting position of the third connecting segment 23, thereby facilitating the installation and securing of the third connecting segment 23, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the antenna connection assembly 100.

[0048] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the third connecting segment 23 can be flush with the second surface 12. Specifically, the surface of the third connecting segment 23 away from the first surface 11 is coplanar with the second surface 12. This facilitates injection molding between the third connecting segment 23 and the motherboard bracket 1, and also facilitates connection between the third connecting segment 23 and the spring 31.

[0049] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the thickness of the third connecting segment 23 is less than the depth of the mounting groove 121. "Thickness" refers to the dimension of the third connecting segment 23 in the height direction of the electronic device 1000, and "depth" also refers to the dimension of the mounting groove 121 in the height direction of the electronic device 1000. This facilitates injection molding between the third connecting segment 23 and the motherboard bracket 1, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the antenna connection assembly 100.

[0050] It should be noted that the thickness of the third connecting section 23 may also be greater than the depth of the mounting groove 121 .

[0051] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the antenna connection assembly 100 further includes an inclined portion 13. In the direction from the first surface 11 to the second surface 12, the inclined portion 13 can be inclined from one end of the main board bracket 1 toward a direction away from the main board bracket 1. Specifically, in the direction from the first surface 11 to the second surface 12, the fixed end of the inclined portion 13 is connected to the main board bracket 1, and the free end is located on the side of the fixed end away from the main board bracket 1.

[0052] The antenna 2 further includes a fourth connecting section 24. The fourth connecting section 24 is connected to the first connecting section 21 and is disposed on the inclined portion 13. Thus, the clearance of the antenna 2 can be satisfied, thereby ensuring normal communication of the electronic device 1000.

[0053] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the fourth connecting section 24 may extend to the side wall of the inclined portion 13. Thus, the stability and reliability of the connection of the antenna 2 can be better ensured.

[0054] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0055] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
