Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention applies to the technical field of antenna equipment, particularly antenna equipment and electronic devices. Background Technology

[0002] An antenna is a transducer that converts guided waves propagating on a transmission line into electromagnetic waves propagating in an unbounded medium (usually free space), or vice versa. It is a component in radio equipment used to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves.

[0003] Antennas are best exposed to the air when they are in operation to improve signal exchange. Currently, antennas in antenna devices are often placed outside the device to enhance antenna functionality.

[0004] However, this setup can easily cause the antenna to be damaged by bumps and knocks, and it is not conducive to the miniaturization of antenna equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides an antenna device and an electronic device to solve the problems involved in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an antenna device, including: a device body, a retractable device and an antenna. The device body has a receiving cavity, and an opening is formed on one side of the receiving cavity. One end of the retractable device is fixedly connected to the target side of the device body. The target side is arranged opposite to the opening. The antenna is arranged in the receiving cavity and is connected to the end of the retractable device near the opening, so that it can be pushed out of the opening by the retractable device until it is partially exposed.

[0007] The retractable device includes a fixed shell and a retractable locking mechanism. The fixed shell is fixed to the target side of the main body of the equipment, and the retractable locking mechanism is located inside the fixed shell. When the retractable locking mechanism is locked to the main body of the equipment, the retractable device is in a retracted state, and the antenna is retracted into the accommodating cavity. When the retractable locking mechanism is released from the main body of the equipment, the retractable device is in an extended state, and the antenna extends out from the opening to be partially exposed.

[0008] The retractable locking mechanism includes a spring, a locking body, and a sliding rod. One end of the spring is connected to the target side of the equipment body, and the other end of the spring is connected to the locking body. The side of the locking body away from the spring is in contact with the antenna. A guide groove is provided on the locking body, and a locking component is provided in the guide groove. One end of the sliding rod is fixed to the target side of the equipment body, and the other end of the sliding rod is configured to slide in the guide groove. When the other end of the sliding rod engages with the locking component in the guide groove, the retractable locking mechanism is locked and fixed to the equipment body. When the other end of the sliding rod separates from the locking component in the guide groove, the retractable locking mechanism is released from the equipment body.

[0009] The locking component has a locking groove, with the groove opening facing away from the target side of the main body of the equipment; one end of the guide slide extends toward the side of the locking body closer to the target side; the other end of the guide slide extends to the locking component and surrounds the locking component, so that the locking component is located in the middle of the other end of the guide slide.

[0010] The guide groove has multiple guide groove walls to guide the slide rod from one side of the locking member to engage with the locking groove, and to guide the slide rod from the other side of the locking member to separate from the locking groove. When the antenna is subjected to a force toward the target side, the antenna drives the locking body to move toward the direction closer to the target side until the spring contracts and the slide rod slides in the guide groove and is guided by the corresponding guide groove wall to engage with the locking member, so that the telescopic locking mechanism is locked and fixed to the main body of the equipment. When the antenna is subjected to a force toward the target side again, the spring contracts further, so that the slide rod is guided by the corresponding guide groove wall to separate from the locking member, the spring resets, and pushes the locking body to move the antenna toward the direction away from the target side until the antenna is partially exposed at the opening.

[0011] The guide groove wall includes a first guide groove wall and a second guide groove wall. The first guide groove wall is bent to form a groove structure with the groove opening facing the target side. One side of the groove opening is connected to the main channel of the guide slide, and the other side of the groove opening is opposite to the positioning groove of the positioning component. The second guide groove wall includes a first groove wall and a second groove wall. One end of the first groove wall is connected to the first guide groove wall and is opposite to the positioning groove of the positioning component. The other end of the first groove wall is inclined in a direction away from the target side. One end of the second groove wall is connected to the other end of the first groove wall, and the other end of the second groove wall extends in a direction closer to the target side.

[0012] The antenna has a plug at the end closest to the target, which contacts the end of the locking body furthest from the target. The locking body also has locking hooks on both sides of the furthest end, which are flexibly connected to the locking body. The locking hooks match the shape of the plug for engagement. When the retractable locking mechanism is locked to the main body, the locking hooks are pushed into the housing and engage with the plug. When the retractable locking mechanism is released from the main body, the locking hooks are pushed out of the housing and separate from the plug.

[0013] The locking hook has a recessed portion, and the plug has a protruding portion. The recessed portion and the protruding portion are shaped to match each other for locking.

[0014] The antenna has a fixed blocking component in the middle, which overlaps with the side of the opening on the main body of the device in the direction of antenna movement.

[0015] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an electronic device, which includes an antenna device as described above and a device body. The device body is disposed in the accommodating cavity of the antenna device and is connected to the antenna.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Unlike the prior art, the antenna device of this utility model includes a device body, a retractable device, and an antenna. The device body has a receiving cavity, and an opening is formed on one side of the receiving cavity. One end of the retractable device is fixedly connected to the target side of the device body. The target side is positioned opposite to the opening. The antenna is placed in the receiving cavity and connected to the end of the retractable device near the opening, so that it can be pushed out of the opening by the retractable device until it is partially exposed. Thus, the retractable device can simultaneously realize the internal and external placement of the antenna. The position of the antenna can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby satisfying the functional optimization of the antenna, promoting the miniaturization of the antenna device, facilitating the carrying of the antenna device, reducing the occurrence of antenna collisions, and improving the reliability of the antenna.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the antenna device provided by this utility model. Figure 2 Partial detail drawing of one embodiment of the antenna device provided by this utility model.

[0029] The antenna device 100 includes: a main body 110, a retractable device 130, and an antenna 120.

[0030] The main body 110 is the main structure of the antenna device 100. The retractable device 130 may include, but is not limited to, a linear motion module, a piston-type retractable mechanism, or a press-and-retract mechanism, etc. The antenna 120 includes, but is not limited to, an offset half-wave antenna, a vertical monopole antenna, a long-line antenna, etc.

[0031] The main body 110 of the equipment is provided with a receiving cavity 111, and an opening 112 is formed on one side of the receiving cavity 111; one end of the telescopic device 130 is fixedly connected to the target side 113 of the main body 110 of the equipment, and the target side 113 is arranged opposite to the opening 112.

[0032] Antenna 120 is disposed in accommodating cavity 111 and connected to one end of retractable device 130 near opening 112 so that it can be pushed out of opening 112 by retractable device 130 until partially exposed.

[0033] In a specific application scenario, when the retractable device 130 extends, the antenna 120 is pushed outward from the opening 112 until it is partially exposed, making it easier for the user to pull the antenna to the required working height and improving the functionality of the antenna 120. When the retractable device 130 retracts, the antenna 120 is moved into the accommodating cavity 111 for internal installation, which is beneficial for the miniaturization of the antenna device 100 and makes it easier to carry. This satisfies both the functional optimization of the antenna and the overall aesthetics of the device, reduces the occurrence of collisions with the antenna 120, and improves the reliability of the antenna 120.

[0034] With the above structure, the antenna device of this embodiment includes a device body, a retractable device, and an antenna. The device body has a receiving cavity, and an opening is formed on one side of the receiving cavity. One end of the retractable device is fixedly connected to the target side of the device body. The target side is positioned opposite to the opening. The antenna is disposed in the receiving cavity and is connected to the end of the retractable device near the opening, so that it can be pushed out of the opening by the retractable device until it is partially exposed. Thus, the retractable device can simultaneously realize the internal and external placement of the antenna. The position of the antenna can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby satisfying the functional optimization of the antenna, facilitating the miniaturization of the antenna device, making the antenna device easy to carry, reducing the occurrence of antenna collisions, and improving the reliability of the antenna.

[0035] Please refer to further information. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the retractable device provided by this utility model.

[0036] In some embodiments, the retractable device 130 includes a fixed housing 131 and a retractable locking mechanism 132.

[0037] The fixed housing 131 is fixed to the target side 113 of the main body 110, and the retractable locking mechanism 132 is disposed inside the fixed housing 131. The retractable locking mechanism 132 can extend and retract relative to the fixed housing 131 in the X direction.

[0038] When the retractable locking mechanism 132 is locked and fixed to the main body 110, the retractable device 130 is in a retracted state, and the antenna 120 is retracted into the accommodating cavity 111; when the retractable locking mechanism 132 is released from the main body 110, the retractable device 130 is in an extended state, and the antenna 120 extends out from the opening 112 to be partially exposed, thereby satisfying both the functional optimization of the antenna and the overall aesthetics of the device, reducing the occurrence of collisions to the antenna 120, and improving the reliability of the antenna 120.

[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to further information. Figure 4-5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the locked state of an embodiment of the retractable locking mechanism provided by this utility model. Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of the unlocked state of an embodiment of the retractable locking mechanism provided by this utility model.

[0040] The retractable locking mechanism 132 includes a spring 1322, a locking body 1321, and a slide bar 1324.

[0041] One end of the spring 1322 is connected to the target side 113 of the device body 110, and the other end of the spring 1322 is connected to the locking body 1321. The side of the locking body 1321 away from the spring 1322 is in contact with the antenna 120. The locking body 1321 moves with the contraction or extension of the spring 1322, and simultaneously drives the antenna 120 to move, so as to realize the switching between the built-in and external antenna 120.

[0042] Specifically, the locking body 1321 is provided with a guide groove 1323, and a locking member 1325 is provided in the guide groove 1323; the locking member 1325 is used to engage with the slide rod 1324, thereby fixing the relative position between the locking body 1321 and the target side 113 to achieve locking.

[0043] One end of the slide rod 1324 is fixed to the target side 113 of the equipment body 110, and the other end of the slide rod 1324 is configured to slide within the guide groove 1323; wherein, in the direction in which the groove wall of the guide groove 1323 is located, this direction is perpendicular to the bottom of the guide groove 1323, and the other end of the slide rod 1324 overlaps with the groove wall of the guide groove 1323, so as to restrict the other end of the slide rod 1324 to move within the guide groove 1323.

[0044] When the other end of the slide rod 1324 engages with the locking member 1325 within the guide groove 1323, the retractable locking mechanism 132 is locked and fixed to the target side 113 of the equipment body 110. At this time, the spring 1322 is compressed, and the retractable locking mechanism 132 drives the antenna 120 to be internally inserted. When the other end of the slide rod 1324 separates from the locking member 1325 within the guide groove 1323, the retractable locking mechanism 132 is released from the equipment body 110. At this time, the spring 1322 extends, and the retractable locking mechanism 132 drives the antenna 120 to be partially exposed from the opening 112.

[0045] In some embodiments, the locking member 1325 is provided with a locking groove 1326, and the opening of the locking groove 1326 is disposed away from the target side 113 of the device body 110. Since the slide rod 1324 is disposed between the target side 113 and the locking body 1321, the locking groove 1326 with the opening away from the target side 113 can be engaged and locked with the slide rod 1324.

[0046] One end of the guide groove 1323 extends toward the side of the locking body 1321 near the target side 113, but does not reach the corresponding edge, so as to prevent the slide rod 1324 from sliding out of the guide groove 1323; the other end of the guide groove 1323 extends to the locking member 1325 and surrounds the locking member 1325, so that the locking member 1325 is located in the middle of the other end of the guide groove 1323. Therefore, when the other end of the slide rod 1324 slides in the guide groove 1323, it can reach the locking member 1325 for locking.

[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to further information. Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a partially enlarged structural diagram of an embodiment of the guide groove provided by this utility model.

[0048] The guide groove 1323 has multiple guide groove walls formed on the basis of the main channel 1327 in its extension direction, so as to guide the slide rod 1324 from one side of the locking member 1325 to engage with the locking groove 1326, and guide the slide rod 1324 from the other side of the locking member 1325 to separate from the locking groove 1326.

[0049] In a specific application scenario, the guide groove wall includes a first guide groove wall 210 and a second guide groove wall 220. The first guide groove wall 210 is similar to a U-shaped groove structure, with its opening facing the target side 113. One side of its opening connects to the main channel 1327 of the guide slide 1323, and the other side of its opening is opposite to the locking groove 1326 of the locking member 1325. When the slide rod 1324 moves away from the target side 113 along the main channel 1327, it will turn and slide at the first guide groove wall 210 into the locking groove 1326 for locking. The locking path of the slide rod 1324 is shown in the S-path diagram.

[0050] The second guide wall 220 includes a first wall 221 and a second wall 222. One end of the first wall 221 is connected to the first guide wall 210 and is positioned opposite the locking groove 1326 of the locking member 1325 to receive the slide rod 1324 sliding out of the locking groove 1326. The other end of the first wall 221 is inclined in a direction away from the target side 113 to drive the slide rod 1324 away from the locking groove 1326. One end of the second wall 222 is connected to the other end of the first wall 221, and the other end of the second wall 222 extends in a direction closer to the target side 113 to guide the slide rod 1324 back to the main channel 1327 of the guide groove 1323. For the unlocking path of the slide rod 1324, please refer to path h.

[0051] When the antenna 120 is subjected to a force toward the target side 113, the antenna 120 drives the locking body 1321 to move toward the target side 113 until the spring 1322 contracts and the slide rod 1324 slides in the guide groove 1323 and is guided by the corresponding guide groove wall to engage with the locking member 1325, so that the retractable locking mechanism 132 is locked and fixed to the equipment body 110.

[0052] When the antenna 120 is subjected to a force toward the target side 113 again, the spring 1322 further contracts, so that the slide bar 1324 is guided by the corresponding guide groove wall to separate from the locking member 1325. The spring 1322 returns to its original position, pushing the locking body 1321 to move the antenna 120 away from the target side 113 until the antenna 120 is partially exposed at the opening 112.

[0053] With the above setup, the user only needs to press the antenna 120 once to embed it into the main body 110 of the device and lock it in place. Pressing the antenna 120 again will pop it out from the opening 112, allowing the user to operate the antenna 120 to pull it to the working height and maximize the functionality of the antenna 120.

[0054] Please refer to further information. Figure 7-8 , Figure 7 for Figure 2 A partially enlarged structural schematic diagram of region A in one embodiment. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment in which the locking hook is pushed into the fixed housing.

[0055] The antenna 120 is provided with a plug 121 at the end near the target side 113. The plug 121 contacts the end of the locking body 1321 away from the target side 113. The locking body 1321 is also provided with locking hooks 133 on both sides of the end away from the target side 113. The locking hooks 133 are flexibly connected to the locking body 1321. The shape of the locking hooks 133 matches that of the plug 121 for locking.

[0056] In a specific application scenario, the locking hook 133 and the locking body 1321 are integrally formed, and Figure 7 The image shows the natural state of the locking hook 133.

[0057] When the retractable locking mechanism 132 is locked and fixed to the main body 110, the locking hook 133 is pushed into the fixed shell 131 and locked with the plug 121. At this time, the antenna 120 is driven to retract into the plug 121 by the locking hook 133 until it is built in. When the retractable locking mechanism 132 is unlocked from the main body 110, the locking hook 133 is pushed out of the fixed shell 131 to be exposed and separated from the plug 121. At this time, the antenna 120 is affected by the extension and reset of the spring 1322 and is driven to push out of the opening 112 by the retractable locking mechanism 132.

[0058] In some embodiments, a recess 134 is formed on the hook 133 and a protrusion 122 is formed on the plug 121, and the recess 134 and the protrusion 122 are shaped to match for engagement.

[0059] In some embodiments, the mounting housing 131 is threadedly fixed to the device body 110.

[0060] In some embodiments, a blocking member (not shown) is fixedly provided in the middle of the antenna 120. In the moving direction x of the antenna 120, the blocking member is arranged to overlap with the side where the opening 112 is located on the device body 110, so as to prevent the antenna 120 from falling out of the antenna device 100.

[0061] Based on the same concept, this application also provides an electronic device, which includes the antenna device of any of the above embodiments and a device body, wherein the device body is disposed in the accommodating cavity of the antenna device and connected to the antenna.

[0062] Electronic devices include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches, etc.
