[0032] The technical solutions shown in this application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments does not limit the priority order of the embodiments.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The antenna device for a mobile terminal of this embodiment includes a main metal frame 1, an antenna bracket body 2 and a functional mainboard 6, wherein the main metal frame 1 has a bearing surface 1a for accommodating the antenna bracket body 2 and the functional mainboard 6.

[0034] During the specific implementation process, the antenna bracket body 2 is connected to the bearing surface 1a of the main metal frame 1, and the functional mainboard 6 is located between the main metal frame 1 and the antenna bracket body 2, wherein the antenna bracket body 2 is provided with an LDS routing area 3 and several bracket spring clips 4 and gold fingers 5 located in the LDS routing area 3, the gold fingers 5 are connected to the side of the antenna bracket body 2 facing the bearing surface 1a, and the bracket spring clip 4 is connected to the side of the antenna bracket body 2 facing away from the bearing surface 1a.

[0035] In addition, several ground feed connection points 7 are provided on the functional main board 6, the gold finger 5 is in contact with the ground feed connection point 7, one end of the bracket spring piece 4 is electrically connected to the gold finger 5 through the LDS wiring area 3, and the other end of the bracket spring piece 4 is interference fit with the side inner wall of the main metal frame 1.

[0036] The antenna device of this embodiment ensures the electrical connection between the bracket spring piece 4 and the gold finger 5 on both surfaces of the antenna bracket body 2 through the LDS routing area 3, and the gold finger 5 abuts the ground feed connection point 7 of the functional mainboard 6, and the bracket spring piece 4 is interference fit with the side inner wall of the main metal frame 1, thereby performing a layered design of the main metal frame 1, optimizing the clearance requirements of the antenna device, and the interference fit relationship between the bracket spring piece 4 and the main metal frame 1 can ensure that there is a strong mechanical pressure between the antenna bracket body 2 and the main metal frame 1, thereby ensuring close electrical contact, that is, reducing the contact resistance between the antenna bracket body 2 and the main metal frame 1, thereby reducing the signal loss at this connection and improving the low-frequency performance of the antenna device.

[0037] Furthermore, based on the LDS routing area 3 designed on the antenna bracket body 2, the conductive path of the electrical connection between the bracket spring 4 and the gold finger 5 can be shortened, thereby reducing the overall impedance between the main metal frame 1, the functional motherboard 6 and the antenna bracket body 2, thereby optimizing the efficiency of antenna signal conduction, that is, improving the radiation characteristics of the antenna device in the low-frequency band and improving its low-frequency performance.

[0038] It can be understood that the other end of the bracket spring piece 4 is interference fit with the side inner wall of the main metal frame 1. The interference fit here is based on the elastic structural characteristics of the bracket spring piece 4. The other end of the bracket spring piece 4 acts on the side inner wall of the main metal frame 1 through a certain elastic pressure or extrusion, so that the end of the bracket spring piece 4 is tightly fitted with the side inner wall of the main metal frame 1, thereby achieving reliable mechanical and electrical connection.

[0039] Preferably, the other end of the bracket spring piece 4 can be designed as a round head structure, and a matching groove can be opened at the corresponding position of the side inner wall of the main metal frame 1, thereby ensuring that the bracket spring piece 4 is stably connected to the side inner wall of the main metal frame 1.

[0040] In one application scenario, the main metal frame 1 is a metal shell frame of a smart phone or a metal shell frame of a smart tablet.

[0041] Preferably, a mounting positioning hole 9 is provided on the bearing surface 1 a of the main metal frame 1 , and the functional mainboard 6 and the antenna bracket body 2 are detachably connected to the main metal frame 1 through the mounting positioning hole 9 .

[0042] It should be noted that the LDS routing area 3 on the antenna bracket body 2 is a precision routing area formed on the antenna bracket body 2 through the LDS (Laser Direct Structuring) process in the embodiment of the present application. It is faster than the traditional antenna printed circuit board (PCB) routing. One method is to use a laser to engrave a preset routing path on the surface of the antenna bracket body 2, and then metallize the routing path (copper plating, nickel plating or gold plating) to form a preset circuit structure, and the LDS can be routed on a three-dimensional surface, that is, the LDS routing area 3 can cover different planes or curved surfaces of the antenna bracket body 2, mainly manifested in that one end of the bracket spring 4 is electrically connected to the gold finger 5, thereby making full use of the effective space of the antenna bracket body 2, expanding the effective area of ​​the antenna, and optimizing the clearance requirements of the antenna device. Based on this, the LDS routing area 3 can optimize the antenna signal path, reduce the coupling interference between the antenna device and the metal structure of the mobile terminal, and further improve the signal stability of the antenna.

[0043] Preferably, the vertical projection of the LDS routing area 3 in the first direction is rectangular in design, and the size of the vertical projection includes 3*5mm, wherein the first direction is the direction perpendicular to the bearing surface 1a of the main metal frame 1, that is, the length of the vertical projection of the LDS routing area 3 can be 5mm and the width can be 3mm, so as to limit the coverage area of ​​the LDS routing area 3 on the antenna bracket body 2, thereby optimizing the layout of the antenna device in a limited space, ensuring sufficient routing area, and thus improving antenna performance.

[0044] In one embodiment, a plurality of bracket spring clips 4 are arranged at intervals along a second direction on the antenna bracket body 2 and the main metal frame 1, wherein the second direction is the extension direction of the side of the main metal frame 1, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The design of the bracket spring clips 4 arranged at intervals can effectively ensure its stable connection with the inner wall of the side of the main metal frame 1, and can also reduce the interference and parasitic effects between the bracket spring clips 4, which helps to improve the low-frequency performance and signal transmission efficiency of the antenna.

[0045] On the other hand, at least one break 8 is provided on the side of the main metal frame 1, and the bracket spring piece 4 is close to the break 8 in the second direction. The main metal frame 1 breaks the continuity of the main metal frame 1 through the break 8, thereby tuning the low-frequency band performance, and the position of the break 8 is close to the bracket spring piece 4, which can make it act as an electrical break point or impedance matching point in the antenna circuit, which helps to adjust the resonant frequency and bandwidth of the antenna.

[0046] Furthermore, the side of the main metal frame 1 includes a first antenna portion 10 and a second antenna portion 11 , the break 8 is located between the first antenna portion 10 and the second antenna portion 11 , and the bracket spring 4 is interference-fitted on the first antenna portion 10 .

[0047] During specific implementation, in the first direction, the vertical projection of the ground feed connection point 7 covers the vertical projection of the gold finger 5 , thereby facilitating quick and stable contact between the gold finger 5 and the ground feed connection point 7 .

[0048] Among them, the antenna bracket body 2 is provided with a bracket spring piece 4 on one side, which maintains a preset gap with the side of the main metal frame 1. After the bracket spring piece 4 crosses the preset gap, it is connected to the inner wall of the side of the main metal frame 1. Thus, the preset gap separates the antenna bracket body 2 from the main metal frame 1, avoiding unnecessary electrical noise or interference, and ensuring that the antenna bracket body 2 has good electrical coupling with the main metal frame 1 within the designed frequency range.

[0049] In one embodiment, the number of ground feed connection points 7, gold fingers 5 and bracket springs 4 is 3, so as to achieve a more uniform grounding distribution, reduce the impact of grounding faults on antenna signal transmission, and ensure that the antenna signal can obtain a stable electrical connection when connected to the antenna bracket body 2 and the functional main board 6, reducing signal instability caused by contact problems.

[0050] This embodiment also discloses an electronic device, which includes the antenna device described in any of the above embodiments. For other working principles and processes of the electronic device of this embodiment, please refer to the description of the antenna device for a mobile terminal in the above embodiment of the present invention, which will not be repeated here.

This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. It should be noted that in this application, the descriptions of each embodiment have their own focus. For parts that are not detailed or recorded in a particular embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0052] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. The various technical features of the technical solution of the present application can be arbitrarily combined. In order to make the description concise, all possible combinations of the various technical features in the above embodiments are not described.
