[0022] Wherein, the radio frequency module 110, the switch 120, the first antenna 130 and the connector 140 are arranged in the shell 160, the connecting piece 152 is arranged on the shell 160, and the shell 160 protects and dustproofs the electrical devices of the radio frequency device 10.

[0023] It can be known that, in the first state, the connecting piece 152 is in electrical connection with the first antenna 130 and the switch 120, so that the radio frequency module 110 accesses the first antenna 130, and the radio frequency device 10 works in the default antenna mode. In the second state, the connecting piece 152 is in electrical connection with the connector 140 and the switch 120, and in the case that the connector 140 accesses the external device, the radio frequency module 110 accesses the external device, and the radio frequency device 10 works in the external device access mode.

[0024] In an embodiment, the radio frequency device 10 further comprises an external device (not labeled in the figure), which is detachably connected with the connector 140 through the plug-in interface and is detachably electrically connected. The user can access the external device to the connector 140 according to the use scene to enhance the wireless signal.
[0025] In an embodiment, the external device can be a second antenna (not labeled in the figure), or a power amplifier (not labeled in the figure), or a second antenna and a power amplifier. The power amplifier is used to amplify the power of the wireless signal, and is used to enhance the strength of the wireless signal. The second antenna can be used to transmit and receive wireless signals.
[0026] For example, the first antenna 130 is arranged in region 1, when the signal strength of region 2 is weak or even has no signal, the plug-in interface can be opened by operating the connecting piece 152, and the second antenna or the signal amplifier is accessed to enhance the signal of region 2. The external device can be arranged in region 1 or region 2. Region 1 and region 2 can be different regions of the same space, or region 1 and region 2 can be different spaces, which are not limited herein.
[0027] In an embodiment, the connecting piece 152 is arranged outside the shell 160 and is movably connected with the shell 160, and the connecting piece 152 can open or close the plug-in interface. The movably connected connecting piece 152 and the shell 160 can be that the connecting piece 152 is detachably connected with the shell 160, or can be that part of the connecting piece 152 is movably connected with the shell 160, which is not limited herein.

When the connecting member 152 opens the plug interface, the electrical connection between the first conductive member 151 and the second conductive member 153 is disconnected, i.e., the electrical connection between the first conductive member 151 and the second conductive member 153 is disconnected, at this time, the control end of the switch 120 returns to a second voltage. The first voltage is less than the second voltage. When the plug interface is closed, i.e., the plug interface is not connected with an external device, the switch 120 is conducted with the first antenna 130 based on the first voltage, so that the radio frequency device 10 works in the default antenna mode. That is, the connecting member 152 of the embodiment can realize the electrical connection and disconnection between the first conductive member 151 and the second conductive member 153. The connecting member 152 is arranged outside the housing 160, and when the connecting member 152 closes the plug interface, it can also protect the plug interface and play a dustproof role.
[0029] The connecting member 152 of the embodiment has a simple structure, and the user can realize the free switching of the default or the connection with the external device of the radio frequency device 10 by operating the connecting member 152 to open and close the plug interface. In addition, the way of adjusting the voltage of the control end of the switch 120 is simple and easy to realize. Furthermore, the connecting member 152 is arranged outside the housing 160, and when the connecting member 152 closes the plug interface, it can also protect the plug interface and play a dustproof role.

Similarly, there is a second conductive member 153. The electrical connection between the first conductive member 151 and the second conductive member 153 can be achieved by conductive terminal plug-in or welding, which is not limited herein.
[0031] In an embodiment, the radio frequency device 10 further comprises a signal generating module 170 electrically connected to the control end of the switch 120, for outputting a second voltage. The signal generating module 170 can be a common power supply circuit, or can be a circuit for voltage conversion based on a power supply signal, which is not limited herein.

The first prompt module 180 outputs a first prompt signal when the connector 152 closes the plug interface. The second prompt module 190 is electrically connected to the control end of the switch 120 and the second conductive part 153, and is connected to the power supply signal. The second prompt module 190 outputs a second prompt signal when the connector 152 opens the plug interface.
[0035] It can be known that, when the connector 152 closes the plug interface, the voltage at the control end of the switch 120 is the first voltage, and the switch 120 is in conduction with the first antenna 130.

Therefore, the first prompt signal outputted by the first prompt module 180 can be used to indicate that the plug interface is closed, and the radio frequency device 10 works in the default antenna mode. When the connector 152 opens the plug interface, the voltage at the control end of the switch 120 returns to the second voltage, and the switch 120 is in conduction with the connector 140. At this time, the radio frequency device 10 transmits or receives wireless signals through the connected external device. Therefore, the second prompt signal outputted by the second prompt module 190 can be used to indicate that the plug interface is opened. If there is no signal at this time, it can also be prompted whether the external device is connected. The first prompt signal and the second prompt signal can be acoustic, optical, electrical signals, etc., which are not limited herein.
[0036] The radio frequency device 10 of the embodiment outputs the first prompt signal through the first prompt module 180 to remind the user that the connector 152 is in the state of closing the plug-in interface and the radio frequency device 10 works in the default antenna mode. The second prompt signal is outputted through the second prompt module 190 to remind the user that the connector 152 is in the state of opening the plug-in interface and the radio frequency device 10 works in the default antenna mode.
