Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic equipment technology, and specifically relates to an electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic devices have become common tools for chatting, gaming, and leisure activities. However, in some environments, electronic devices have weak signals and poor networks, making it impossible to perform basic functions. Therefore, there is a need to improve the low-frequency performance of electronic devices.
[0003] In related technologies, the antenna board and the main and auxiliary antennas are electrically connected through an excitation circuit. The antenna board is used to enhance the current intensity of the main and auxiliary antennas to meet the antenna excitation requirements, thereby enhancing the antenna performance.
[0004] However, the need for electrical connections inevitably requires opening holes and wiring near the antenna, which affects the sealing performance of electronic devices, resulting in technical problems such as poor waterproof performance and high failure rate. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application aims to provide an electronic device that can solve the problems of poor waterproof performance and high failure rate in related technologies.
[0006] This application provides an electronic device, which includes: a frame; an antenna disposed around the periphery of the frame and spaced apart from the frame; and a coupling component insulated from the antenna and disposed opposite to the antenna, the coupling component serving as a coupler for the antenna.
[0007] In this technical solution, the coupling component is located on the outside of the frame and is positioned opposite to the antenna. The coupling component is insulated from the antenna. After the coupling component is assembled, it can couple with the antenna. That is, the coupling component works as the antenna coupler to enhance the current intensity in the antenna, thereby improving the antenna's signal transmission and reception capabilities and enabling the electronic equipment to be used normally in areas with poor signal strength.
[0008] Specifically, the coupling component can be spaced apart from the antenna, or the coupling component can be separated from the antenna by an insulating material. This embodiment does not impose strict limitations on this, as long as the insulation requirements between the coupling component and the antenna are met.
[0009] Therefore, this application, by setting a coupling component capable of coupling with the antenna, allows the antenna to be effectively excited by the coupling component without relying on electrical connection structures such as excitation circuits. This eliminates the need for openings and wiring near the antenna, preventing liquid from seeping into the electronic device through these areas. This allows the electronic device to maintain both excellent communication functionality and excellent waterproof performance, reducing the probability of water ingress failures. Thus, it solves the technical problems of poor waterproof performance and high failure rate in related technologies, thereby optimizing the layout of the antenna excitation structure and improving the safety and reliability of the electronic device.

[0032] The following is combined Figures 1 to 14 This application describes an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, an electronic device 100 is provided. The electronic device 100 includes: a frame 110; an antenna 116 disposed around the frame 110 and spaced apart from the frame 110; and a coupling member 130 insulated from the antenna 116 and disposed opposite to the antenna 116, the coupling member 130 serving as a coupler for the antenna 116.
[0034] In this embodiment, an electronic device 100 is proposed, which includes a frame 110 and an antenna 116.
[0035] The frame 110 serves as the main frame of the electronic device 100, used to position and support other structures on the electronic device 100. The frame 110 can absorb impact force when the electronic device 100 is subjected to external impact, thereby reducing the failure rate of the electronic device 100.
[0036] Antenna 116 is arranged on the outer periphery of frame 110. Antenna 116 can be used to transmit and receive signals to realize the communication function of electronic device 100.
[0037] The electronic device 100 also includes a coupling component 130, which is disposed outside the frame 110. The coupling component 130 is disposed opposite to the antenna 116 and is insulated from the antenna 116. After the coupling component 130 is assembled, it can couple with the antenna 116. That is, the coupling component 130 works as a coupler for the antenna 116 to enhance the current intensity in the antenna 116, thereby improving the signal transmission and reception capability of the antenna 116 and enabling the electronic device 100 to be used normally in areas with poor signal strength.
[0038] Specifically, the coupling component 130 can be spaced apart from the antenna 116, or the coupling component 130 can be separated from the antenna 116 by an insulating material. This embodiment does not impose a hard limitation on this, as long as the insulation requirements between the coupling component 130 and the antenna 116 are met.
[0039] Therefore, this application, by providing a coupling component 130 capable of coupling with the antenna 116, enables the antenna 116 to be effectively excited by the coupling component 130 without relying on electrical connection structures such as excitation circuits. This eliminates the need for openings and wiring near the antenna 116, preventing liquid from seeping into the electronic device 100 through these areas. This allows the electronic device 100 to maintain both excellent communication functions and excellent waterproof performance, reducing the probability of water ingress failures. This solves the technical problems of poor waterproof performance and high failure rate in related technologies, thereby optimizing the layout of the antenna 116 excitation structure and improving the safety and reliability of the electronic device 100.
[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may optionally include: a bracket 140, which is connected to the frame 110 and is located between the frame 110 and the antenna 116, and a coupling component 130 is disposed on the bracket 140.
[0041] Figure 4 In the diagram, the area pointed to by arrow a is used to accommodate antenna 116.
[0042] In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 also includes a bracket 140, which is disposed between the frame 110 and the antenna 116. The coupling component 130 is mounted on the bracket 140 and is fixed to the outer periphery of the frame 110 by the bracket 140.
[0043] The bracket 140 is formed of insulating material to avoid electrical connection between the coupling component 130 and the frame 110 while meeting the positioning requirements of the coupling component 130, thereby ensuring that the coupling performance of the coupling component 130 is not affected.
[0044] By positioning the coupling component 130 between the frame 110 and the antenna 116 using the bracket 140, the idle space between the frame 110 and the antenna 116 can be made reasonable use, thereby improving the structural compactness of the electronic device 100 and providing convenient conditions for the miniaturization design of the electronic device 100.
[0045] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the coupling component 130 is a first metal sheet 132, the bracket 140 includes a slot 142, the first metal sheet 132 is inserted into the slot 142; the first metal sheet 132 is bonded to the bracket 140, and the bracket 140 also includes an adhesive outlet 144, which communicates with the slot 142.
[0046] In this embodiment, the first metal sheet 132 is selected as the coupling component 130. The sheet-like first metal sheet 132 can make reasonable use of the narrow space between the frame 110 and the antenna 116, thereby meeting the coupling excitation requirements of the antenna 116 without increasing the overall size of the electronic device 100.
[0047] Based on this, a slot 142 is provided on the bracket 140. The shape of the slot 142 is adapted to the shape of the first metal piece 132. The first metal piece 132 can be initially positioned on the bracket 140 by inserting it into the slot 142, so as to reduce the probability of misinstallation of the first metal piece 132 and improve the assembly accuracy of the first metal piece 132.
[0048] After the first metal piece 132 is inserted and positioned, the first metal piece 132 and the bracket 140 are bonded together with glue to prevent the first metal piece 132 from being misaligned due to impact during the injection molding of the insulating component 120, thereby further improving the assembly accuracy of the first metal piece 132.
[0049] Specifically, the bracket 140 is also provided with a glue discharge port 144. The first end of the glue discharge port 144 is connected to the slot 142, and the second end of the glue discharge port 144 is connected to the space at the bottom of the bracket 140. By providing the glue discharge port 144, excess glue can be discharged to the outside of the slot 142, avoiding the excess glue accumulating at the bottom of the slot 142 from affecting the insertion depth of the first metal piece 132, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the bracket 140 for the first metal piece 132.
[0050] Specifically, the first metal sheet 132 includes a notch 1322, which engages with the clearance groove 1142.
[0051] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the frame 110 includes a first latching portion 1122 on the side facing the antenna 116, and the bracket 140 includes a second latching portion 146, with the first latching portion 1122 and the second latching portion 146 connected; wherein, the first latching portion 1122 is a slot, and the second latching portion 146 is a rib.
[0052] In this embodiment, the bracket 140 and the frame 110 are snapped together. The frame 110 and the bracket 140 are connected by a snap-fit structure, which can reduce the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the bracket 140, thereby reducing the assembly complexity of the electronic device 100. In addition, the snap-fit structure has the advantages of low structural complexity and low processing difficulty, which is conducive to reducing the production cost of the electronic device 100.
[0053] Specifically, the snap-fit structure includes a first snap-fit part 1122 and a second snap-fit part 146. The first snap-fit part 1122 is located on the side of the frame 110 facing the antenna 116, and the second snap-fit part 146 is located on the outside of the bracket 140. During assembly, snapping the first snap-fit part 1122 and the second snap-fit part 146 together completes the positioning and installation of the bracket 140 and the coupling component 130.
[0054] Specifically, the snap-fit structure includes a slot and a rib. The slot can also be replaced by a retaining ring, and the rib can also be replaced by a hook. This embodiment does not impose a rigid limitation on the specific form of the snap-fit structure, as long as it meets the snap-fit requirements.
[0055] like Figure 11 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the coupling member 130 avoids the space between the frame 110 and the antenna 116, and the coupling member 130 contacts the antenna 116.
[0056] In this embodiment, the coupling component 130 avoids the space between the frame 110 and the antenna 116, and the coupling component 130 is attached to the outside of the antenna 116.
[0057] By avoiding the space between the frame 110 and the antenna 116, the coupling component 130 and the frame 110 can be prevented from making accidental contact, eliminating the risk of the coupling component 130 losing its coupling excitation performance due to a short circuit. Furthermore, moving the coupling component 130 out of the space between the frame 110 and the antenna 116 avoids interference between them, eliminating the need for a clearance structure on the frame 110. This reduces the manufacturing complexity and production cost of the electronic device 100.
[0058] Based on this, the assembled coupling component 130 comes into contact with the antenna 116. For example, the coupling component 130 can be attached to the outside of the antenna 116 with glue, or the coupling component 130 can be clamped in the mounting slot 124 by interference fit.
[0059] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the coupling component 130 may optionally be a flexible circuit board 134, which is bonded to the antenna 116 and is insulated on the side of the flexible circuit board 134 facing the antenna 116.
[0060] In this embodiment, a flexible circuit board 134 is selected as the coupling component 130. The metal parts on the flexible circuit board 134 can be coupled with the antenna 116 to excite the antenna 116 and enhance the communication performance of the antenna 116.
[0061] Among them, the flexible circuit board 134 is a standard component that can be purchased in bulk, which helps to reduce the production cost of electronic equipment 100.
[0062] Based on this, the flexible circuit board 134 is insulated on the side facing the antenna 116. This insulation structure can separate the metal structure from the antenna 116 to avoid short circuit between the metal structure and the antenna 116, thus ensuring the excitation effectiveness of the coupling component 130.
[0063] The flexible circuit board 134 is glued to the outside of the antenna 116. Fixing the flexible circuit board 134 with glue can prevent the flexible circuit board 134 from coming out of the mounting groove 124, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the structural stability of the electronic device 100.
[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may optionally include: an insulating component 120, which is connected to the frame 110 and encloses the antenna 116; wherein, a coupling component 130 is disposed within the insulating component 120, and the insulating component 120 separates the coupling component 130 from the frame 110.
[0065] In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 further includes an insulating component 120 and a connecting portion 114. The connecting portion 114 is located between the frame 110 and the antenna 116. One end of the connecting portion 114 is connected to the peripheral side of the frame 110, and the other end of the connecting portion 114 is connected to the side of the antenna 116 facing the frame 110.
[0066] The frame 110, the connecting part 114 and the antenna 116 are integrally formed from metal. The metal material can not only meet the signal transmission and reception requirements of the antenna 116, but also meet the strength requirements of the frame 110. The integral forming process can reduce the process complexity of the electronic device 100 and reduce the production cost of the electronic device 100.
[0067] The insulating component 120 is injection molded on the outer periphery of the frame 110. After the injection molding of the insulating component 120 is completed, the insulating component 120 can wrap around the antenna 116 on the periphery of the frame 110 to protect the antenna 116. The insulating component 120 serves as an external part of the electronic device 100, and also provides insulation protection for the frame 110 and the antenna 116, reducing the probability of leakage problems in the electronic device 100.
[0068] The coupling component 130 is embedded in the insulating component 120. The insulating component 120 can be coupled with the antenna 116 to enhance the current intensity in the antenna 116, thereby improving the signal transmission and reception capability of the antenna 116 and enabling the electronic device 100 to be used normally in areas with poor signal strength.
[0069] Based on this, a cutting opening 122 is provided on the insulating component 120. The cutting opening 122 connects the inner and outer sides of the insulating component 120, and is positioned opposite to the connection portion 114 between the frame 110 and the antenna 116. The cutting opening 122 allows a cutting tool to be inserted into the inner side of the component to cut off the connection portion 114 between the frame 110 and the antenna 116. After the connection portion 114 is cut off, it can be removed from the cutting opening 122, thereby severing the connection between the antenna 116 and the frame 110. By cutting off the connection portion 114, the electrical connection between the frame 110 and the antenna 116 can be severed to meet the coupling requirements between the coupling component 130 and the antenna 116.
[0070] Meanwhile, the insulating component 120 can also position the coupling component 130 inside it so that the coupling component 130 can be assembled to the area near the antenna 116 without the aid of the frame 110, so as to enhance the performance of the antenna 116 through the coupling with the antenna 116.
[0071] Therefore, this application achieves the positioning and installation of the coupling component 130 through the insulating component 120, eliminating the need for a groove structure on the frame 110. This allows the coupling component 130 to be suspended on the outer periphery of the frame 110 without direct connection to it. Furthermore, by providing a cutting notch 122 on the insulating component 120 to cut off the connecting portion 114, the antenna 116 can also be suspended on the outer periphery of the frame 110 without direct connection to it. This allows the shape and size design of the frame 110 to be independent of the assembly requirements of external components, preventing damage to the structural strength and waterproof performance of the frame 110 due to these assembly requirements. This optimizes the structure of the frame 110, enhances its protection of internal components, and improves the safety and reliability of the electronic device 100.
[0072] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the connecting part 114 and the coupling part 130 are also arranged between the frame 110 and the antenna 116. By providing a clearance groove 1142 on the connecting part 114, the coupling part 130 can be partially embedded into the clearance groove 1142 during assembly, avoiding interference between the coupling part 130 and the connecting part 114, so as to ensure that the coupling part 130 can be smoothly installed in the predetermined position before the injection molding of the insulating part 120. At the same time, the clearance groove 1142 can also play an auxiliary positioning role, which helps to improve the assembly accuracy of the coupling part 130 and enhance the enhancement effect of the coupling part 130 on the antenna 116.
[0073] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, after the assembly of the bracket 140 and the coupling component 130 is completed, an insulating component 120 is injection molded on the outside of the frame 110, the bracket 140, and the coupling component 130, and a cutting notch 122 is reserved on the insulating component 120. After the injection molding of the insulating component 120 is completed, the connecting part 114 and part of the coupling component 130 inserted in the clearance groove 1142 are cut off by a tool with cutting function, so as to sever the electrical connection between the frame 110 and the coupling component 130, so that the coupling component 130 can be coupled with the outer antenna 116, thereby achieving the technical effect of enhancing the communication performance of the antenna 116 and improving the practicality of the electronic device 100.
[0074] During the cutting of the connecting part 114, the coupling component 130 is also cut off, forming multiple coupling segments. Each coupling segment is coupled to the corresponding antenna 116 according to its location.
[0075] For example, such as Figure 9As shown, when the antenna 116 has a main antenna 1162 and a parasitic antenna 1164, the coupling component 130 is cut into three coupling segments along with the first connecting portion 1144 and the second connecting portion 1146. The coupling segment in the area pointed to by arrow b is coupled to the main antenna 1162, the coupling segment in the area pointed to by arrow c can be coupled to both the main antenna 1162 and the auxiliary antenna 116 at the same time, and the coupling segment in the area pointed to by arrow d can be coupled to the parasitic antenna 1164, thereby realizing fine adjustment of the coupling excitation of the antenna 116 and improving the communication performance of the antenna 116.
[0076] like Figure 11 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the insulating component 120 includes a mounting groove 124, and the coupling component 130 is disposed within the mounting groove 124.
[0077] In this embodiment, during the injection molding process of the insulating component 120, in addition to reserving the cutting opening 122, a mounting groove 124 also needs to be reserved. The shape of the mounting groove 124 is adapted to the shape of the coupling component 130. After the molding of the insulating component 120 is completed, the coupling component 130 is embedded into the mounting groove 124 to complete the assembly of the coupling component 130. After the assembly of the coupling component 130 is completed, the insulating component 120 can separate the coupling component 130 from the frame 110 to avoid the electrical connection between the frame 110 and the coupling component 130 from damaging the coupling excitation performance.
[0078] Therefore, by providing a mounting groove 124 on the insulating component 120, the coupling component 130 can be suspended on the outside of the frame 110 without being directly connected to the frame 110, thus eliminating the need to create a groove on the frame 110. This reduces the damage to the frame 110 caused by the coupling component 130, thereby solving the technical problems of poor safety and reliability of the middle frame and high failure rate of the electronic device 100 mentioned in related technologies. In this way, the technical effect of optimizing the structure of the frame 110, improving the protection performance of the frame 110 for internal components, and improving the safety and reliability of the electronic device 100 can be achieved.
[0079] like Figure 11 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the mounting slot 124 avoids the space between the frame 110 and the antenna 116, and the coupling component 130 contacts the antenna 116.
[0080] In this embodiment, the mounting slot 124 avoids the space between the frame 110 and the antenna 116, and the coupling component 130 is attached to the outside of the antenna 116.
[0081] By avoiding the space between the frame 110 and the antenna 116, the installation slot 124 can prevent accidental contact between the coupling component 130 and the frame 110, eliminating the risk of the coupling component 130 losing its coupling excitation performance due to a short circuit. Furthermore, moving the coupling component 130 out of the space between the frame 110 and the antenna 116 avoids interference between the coupling component 130 and the connecting part 114, eliminating the need for an clearance slot 1142 on the connecting part 114. This reduces the process complexity and production cost of the electronic device 100.
[0082] Based on this, the assembled coupling component 130 comes into contact with the antenna 116. For example, the coupling component 130 can be attached to the outside of the antenna 116 with glue, or the coupling component 130 can be clamped in the mounting slot 124 by interference fit.
[0083] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the insulating component 120 includes a mounting groove 124 located between the frame 110 and the antenna 116; the insulating component 120 separates the coupling component 130 and the antenna 116.
[0084] In this embodiment, the mounting slot 124 is arranged between the frame 110 and the antenna 116. By arranging the mounting slot 124 between the frame 110 and the antenna 116, the idle space between the frame 110 and the antenna 116 can be reasonably utilized, thereby improving the structural compactness of the electronic device 100 and providing convenient conditions for the miniaturization design of the electronic device 100.
[0085] After the injection molding of the insulating component 120 is completed, the coupling component 130 is embedded into the mounting groove 124 to install the coupling component 130 between the frame 110 and the antenna 116.
[0086] Based on this, the mounting slot 124 should avoid the cutting opening 122 to prevent the coupling components 130 from interfering with each other, thereby reducing the process complexity and assembly complexity of the electronic device 100.
[0087] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the coupling member 130 is a second metal sheet 136, the second metal sheet 136 being positioned in the width direction of the mounting groove 124. Figure 12 (As shown by the middle arrow e) The second metal sheet 136 bends upward, and the bent portion forms a spring arm 1362, which abuts against the inner wall of the mounting groove 124.
[0088] In this embodiment, a second metal sheet 136 is selected as the coupling component 130. The sheet-like second metal sheet 136 can make reasonable use of the narrow space between the frame 110 and the antenna 116, thereby meeting the coupling excitation requirements of the antenna 116 without increasing the overall size of the electronic device 100.
[0089] Based on this, the two ends of the second metal piece 136 are bent in the width direction of the mounting groove 124 to form two elastic arms 1362 at the beginning and end of the second metal piece 136. The length of the elastic arms 1362 is greater than the width of the mounting groove 124. After the second metal piece 136 is inserted into the mounting groove 124, the elastic arms 1362 are forced to compress. The elastic arms 1362 apply elastic force to the inner wall of the mounting groove 124 so that the second metal piece 136 can be locked inside the mounting groove 124, avoiding misalignment or even dislodging of the second metal piece 136. This achieves the technical effect of optimizing the structure of the coupling component 130 and improving the positioning accuracy of the coupling component 130.
[0090] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the antenna 116 may optionally include a main antenna 1162 and a parasitic antenna 1164, with a gap between the main antenna 1162 and the parasitic antenna 1164; a coupling member 130 is partially disposed opposite to the gap, and the coupling member 130 is used as a coupler between the main antenna 1162 and the parasitic antenna 1164.
[0091] In this embodiment, antenna 116 includes a main antenna 1162 and a parasitic antenna 1164, which are spaced apart from each other.
[0092] The main antenna 1162 is connected to the frame 110 via the first connecting part 1144, and the parasitic antenna 1164 is connected to the frame 110 via the second connecting part 1146. By setting the first connecting part 1144 and the second connecting part 1146 respectively, the positioning accuracy of the main antenna 1162 and the parasitic antenna 1164 can be guaranteed, ensuring that the main antenna 1162 and the parasitic antenna 1164 will not be misaligned during the injection molding process of the insulating component 120.
[0093] Based on this, the insulating component 120 has a first cutting notch 1222 and a second cutting notch 1224. The first cutting notch 1222 is positioned opposite to the first connecting portion 1144, and the second cutting notch 1224 is positioned opposite to the second connecting portion 1146. After the insulating component 120 is formed, the first connecting portion 1144 can be cut off through the first cutting notch 1222 and the second connecting portion 1146 can be cut off through the second cutting notch 1224 using a tool with cutting function, thereby disconnecting the electrical connection between the frame 110 and the antenna 116.
[0094] When a first metal piece 132 is embedded in the first connecting portion 1144 and the second connecting portion 1146, the embedded portion of the first metal piece 132 is cut off along with the first connecting portion 1144 and the second connecting portion 1146.
[0095] For example, such as Figure 9 As shown, when antenna 116 includes a main antenna 1162 and a parasitic antenna 1164, the coupling member 130, along with the first connecting portion 1144 and the second connecting portion 1146, is cut into three coupling segments. The coupling segment in the area indicated by arrow b is coupled to the main antenna 1162 and serves as the coupler for the main antenna 1162 alone. The coupling segment in the area indicated by arrow c can be coupled to both the main antenna 1162 and the parasitic antenna 1164 simultaneously, serving as the coupler for both. The coupling segment in the area indicated by arrow d can be coupled to the parasitic antenna 1164 and serves as the coupler for the parasitic antenna 1164 alone. This allows for fine-tuning of the coupling excitation of antenna 116, improving the communication performance of antenna 116.
[0096] The electronic device 100 can be a terminal or other devices besides a terminal. For example, the electronic device 100 can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, handheld computer, in-vehicle electronic device 100, mobile internet device (MID), augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, robot, wearable device, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), netbook, or personal digital assistant (PDA), etc. It can also be a personal computer (PC), television (TV), ATM, or self-service machine, etc. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit it.
