[0018] The utility model will be further described below in combination with embodiments, and it should be understood that these embodiments are only used for describing the utility model and are not used for limiting the scope of the utility model, and after reading the description, various equivalent modifications of the skilled in the art to the description all fall within the range defined by the claims attached to the present application.

[0019] Please combine Figs. 1 to 4 Fig. 1, the tablet computer of the embodiment comprises a frame 1, a back plate 2 and a screen 3, wherein the frame 1 and the back plate 2 are both made of metal materials. Two tablet computer cavity antennas are arranged in the tablet computer, which are used for 2.4G and 5G communication respectively. In order to avoid mutual interference between the two tablet computer cavity antennas for different frequencies, the distance between the two is controlled at about 100mm.

[0020] The following takes the cavity antenna of the tablet computer of 2.4G communication as an example to illustrate the composition of the antenna, which mainly includes a feed line 4, an excitation part 5 and a cavity part 6, and the metal back plate 2 of the tablet computer is also a part of the antenna.

[0021] The cavity part 6 and the excitation part 5 are processed on the surface of the plastic support 7 by the LDS process, and the plastic support is fixedly connected to other intermediate components of the metal back plate by screws to form a fixed connection with the metal back plate.

[0022] The cavity part includes a first face 601, a folded connecting face 602 and a second face 603, wherein the first face 601 is a face of the plastic support 7 facing the screen 3 of the tablet computer, and the second face 603 is a face of the plastic support 7 facing the metal back plate 2 of the tablet computer. The folded connecting face 602 is processed on the side face of the plastic support 7, and the multiple side edges of the first face 601 are connected to the second face 603 through the folded connecting face 602. Specifically, a first side edge 601a is located on the side of the first face 601 close to the metal frame 1 of the tablet computer, and the folded connecting face 602 is arranged at the positions of the other side edges of the first face 601 except the first side edge 601a.

[0023] The first face 601 covers most of the area of the face of the plastic support 7 facing the screen 3 of the tablet computer, and the coverage area of the second face 603 is smaller than that of the first face 601. The main purpose of the second face 603 is to form an electrical connection with the metal back plate 2 of the tablet computer, and the folded connecting face 602 connected to the second face 603 is indirectly connected to the metal back plate 2, so that the first face 601, the folded connecting face 602 and the metal back plate 2 form a resonant cavity of the cavity antenna. In the embodiment, the second face 603 is arranged in the shape of a concave character with an opening facing the direction of the first side edge 601a of the first face 601. It can be understood that the second face 603 can also be arranged in other shapes, as long as the first face 601, the folded connecting face 602 and the metal back plate 2 can form a resonant cavity after the second face 603 is connected to the metal back plate 2. In addition, in the embodiment, a plurality of conductive foams 8 are arranged on the second face 603. When the plastic support 7 is fixed to the metal back plate 2, the conductive foams 8 are in contact with the metal back plate 2, thereby completing the electrical connection between the second face 603 and the metal back plate 2. In order to facilitate the tuning of the resonant cavity, a plurality of through holes 601b are formed on the first face 601. The size of the resonant cavity can be adjusted by filling the through holes 601b in the later stage, thereby realizing tuning.

[0024] The excitation part 5 is also processed on the side of the plastic support 7 facing the screen 3 of the tablet computer, which is located in the direction of the first side 601a of the first side 601, and is left with a certain gap compared with the first side 601a of the first side 601a, and the excitation part 5 is closer to the metal frame 1 of the tablet computer, so the excitation part 5 is located on the opening side of the resonant cavity.

[0025] The feeder 4 is arranged under the screen 3 of the tablet computer as required and is electrically connected with the excitation part 5, in order to facilitate the arrangement of the feeder 4, the first groove 701 and the second groove 702 are arranged on the surface of the plastic support 7, wherein the first groove 701 is located at the position of the first side 601, and the second groove 702 is located at the position of the excitation part 5, the feeder 4 is arranged along the first groove 701, and the electrically connected point of the feeder 4 and the excitation part 5 is located in the second groove 702.
