[0037] In actual application, the shell 01 and the baffle 02 are closely matched, the baffle 02 is located on one side of the shell 01, and a gap for card swiping is formed between the two. When the user performs card swiping operation, the card will pass through the gap formed between the shell 01 and the baffle 02, and the antenna assembly 03 arranged on the baffle 02 will receive the external radio frequency signal. Since the antenna assembly 03 is connected with the radio frequency module inside the mobile payment device, the external radio frequency signal will be transmitted to the radio frequency module inside the mobile payment device through the antenna assembly 03, so as to realize the communication transmission with the mobile payment device.

[0038] In this embodiment, the antenna assembly 03 is arranged on the baffle 02, and is connected with the radio frequency module in the mobile payment device to realize the communication of the mobile payment device. The antenna assembly 03 is not interfered by the metal devices in the mobile payment device, the performance of the antenna is further improved, the communication interruption or transaction failure is avoided, and the stability of the communication of the mobile payment device is improved.

One end of the connecting branch 05 is connected with the main branch 04, and the other end of the connecting branch 05 is connected with the radio frequency module in the mobile payment device.

[0040] In this embodiment, an implementation manner of the antenna assembly 03 is provided. When the mobile payment device needs to receive the radio frequency signal of the external payment, the external signal is subjected to preliminary signal processing through the main branch 04, and then is transmitted to the connecting branch 05, and is transmitted to the inside of the mobile payment device through the radio frequency module by the connecting branch 05.

[0054] The fixing part 07 is fixed on the shell 01 through the fixing groove 09. This fixing method ensures that the radio frequency signal will not be lost or interfered during transmission due to the shaking or unstable connection of the connecting branch 05, so that the connection between the connecting branch 05 and the shell 01 and the radio frequency module is more stable and reliable.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the fixing part 07 and the connecting part 08 are designed as one piece.

[0056] In this embodiment, a design method of the fixing part 07 and the connecting part 08 is provided.
