Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a transparent antenna, and more particularly to a flexible transparent antenna. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of fifth-generation / sixth-generation mobile communication technologies (5G / 6G), the Internet of Things (IoT), and flexible electronics, electronic devices are evolving towards integration, intelligence, and diversified forms. Traditional metal antennas, due to their inherent characteristics such as opacity, rigidity, and inflexibility, are increasingly becoming a bottleneck in device industrial design, making seamless integration into the transparent surfaces or flexible structures of modern devices difficult, such as the full-screen displays of smartphones, the cover glass of smartwatches, the windshields of automotive autonomous driving sensors, and the interior screens of foldable devices. However, flexible transparent antennas are easily damaged during installation and use due to compression, scratches, or repeated bending, and their installation and fixing methods when integrated with devices often compromise the aesthetics and consistency of the device.

[0003] Therefore, a flexible, transparent antenna needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of flexible transparent antennas, which are easily damaged by squeezing, scratching or repeated bending during installation and use, and whose installation and fixing methods when integrated with equipment often compromise the aesthetics and consistency of the equipment, this utility model provides a bendable transparent antenna.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: A flexible transparent antenna includes a transparent substrate, a composite transparent radiating layer, and a transparent encapsulation protective layer. The composite transparent radiating layer is mounted on the transparent substrate, and the transparent encapsulation protective layer is attached to the composite transparent radiating layer. It also includes a first flexible protective frame, a second flexible protective frame, protrusions, and a connector. The first flexible protective frame has slots on both sides, and protrusions are fixedly connected to both sides of the first flexible protective frame. The first flexible protective frame and the second flexible protective frame are engaged with adjacent slots through protrusions. The first flexible protective frame and the second flexible protective frame encapsulate the transparent substrate, the composite transparent radiating layer, and the transparent encapsulation protective layer. A connector is connected to one side of the composite transparent radiating layer.

[0006] More preferably, it also includes a fixed shaft, a torsion spring, and a locking rod. The terminal block has mounting grooves on both sides, with a fixed shaft fixedly connected in the mounting groove. A locking rod is rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft, and a torsion spring connects the locking rod to the terminal block.

[0007] More preferably, it also includes extrusion strips. Two extrusion strips are embedded in the upper and lower sides of the first and second flexible protective frames. The upper extrusion strip contacts the transparent encapsulation protective layer, and the lower extrusion strip contacts the transparent substrate.

[0008] More preferably, it also includes transparent adhesive strips, with transparent adhesive strips affixed to both the bottom sides of the first flexible protective frame and the second flexible protective frame.

[0009] More preferably, the bump is T-shaped.

[0010] More preferably, the extrusion strip is made of rubber.

[0011] During assembly, the first and second flexible protective frames are engaged with the opposite slots via protrusions on their sides, ensuring that they are not easily loosened after engagement. The first and second flexible protective frames close to form a sturdy frame that tightly wraps and protects the fragile transparent substrate, composite transparent radiation layer, and transparent encapsulation protective layer within its internal cavity. This avoids contamination or damage to the transparent components caused by the use of glue or screws. The rubber extrusion strips embedded on the upper and lower sides inside the protective frame undergo elastic deformation after the protective frame is closed and tightened. The extrusion strip at the top continuously presses downwards against the transparent encapsulation protective layer, while the extrusion strip at the bottom continuously presses upwards against the transparent substrate. Through bidirectional extrusion force, the entire layered stacked structure is firmly pressed together, preventing relative displacement or delamination between layers during bending or vibration, and ensuring the stability of the electrical connection. The transparent adhesive strip at the bottom allows for installation on the surface of equipment such as car windows and display back panels.

[0012] When connecting the plug to the transparent antenna, first pry open the locking lever by hand. The lever causes the torsion spring to rotate and deform. After the plug is inserted into the terminal block, release the locking lever. The torsion spring returns to its original shape, causing the locking lever to rotate in the opposite direction and reset. The locking lever hooks the plug, forming a self-locking structure, which effectively prevents the feeder from falling off due to accidental pulling, ensuring long-term stability and reliability of signal transmission.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the protrusions and slots of the first and second flexible protective frames interlock to form a robust frame, allowing for the non-destructive encapsulation of the core transparent component without the need for adhesives or screws. The built-in rubber extrusion strip generates bidirectional elastic pressure after closure, clamping the stacked structure from top to bottom, effectively preventing interlayer displacement and delamination during bending or vibration, and ensuring electrical stability.

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] Example 1: A flexible transparent antenna, see [reference] Figures 1-7As shown, the device includes a transparent substrate 1, a composite transparent radiating layer 2, and a transparent encapsulation protective layer 3. The composite transparent radiating layer 2 is mounted on the transparent substrate 1, and the transparent encapsulation protective layer 3 is attached to the composite transparent radiating layer 2. The transparent substrate 1 is a PET film. It also includes a first flexible protective frame 4, a second flexible protective frame 5, protrusions 7, and a connector 8. The first flexible protective frame 4 has slots 6 on both sides. Protrusions 7 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the right side of the first flexible protective frame 4. The first flexible protective frame 4 and the second flexible protective frame 5 are engaged with the adjacent slots 6 via the protrusions 7. The protrusions 7 and the slots 6 are T-shaped. After the protrusions 7 are engaged into the slots 6... A stable connection structure is formed. The first flexible protective frame 4 and the second flexible protective frame 5 wrap the transparent substrate 1, the composite transparent radiation layer 2 and the transparent encapsulation protective layer 3. Transparent adhesive strips 13 are attached to the front and back sides of the bottom of the first flexible protective frame 4 and the second flexible protective frame 5. A terminal block 8 is connected to the right side of the composite transparent radiation layer 2. The terminal block 8 passes through the second flexible protective frame 5. Two extrusion strips 12 are embedded in the upper and lower sides of the inside of the first flexible protective frame 4 and the second flexible protective frame 5. The upper extrusion strip 12 contacts the transparent encapsulation protective layer 3 and the lower extrusion strip 12 contacts the transparent substrate 1. The extrusion strips 12 are made of rubber.

[0024] During assembly, the first flexible protective frame 4 and the second flexible protective frame 5 are engaged with the opposite slot 6 via the protrusion 7 on their sides, ensuring that they are not easily loosened after engagement. The first flexible protective frame 4 and the second flexible protective frame 5 are closed to form a sturdy frame, which tightly wraps and protects the fragile transparent substrate 1, the composite transparent radiation layer 2 and the transparent encapsulation protective layer 3 in its internal cavity, avoiding contamination or damage to the transparent components by using glue or screws. The rubber extrusion strips 12 embedded on the upper and lower sides inside the protective frame will undergo elastic deformation after the protective frame is closed and tightened. The extrusion strip 12 at the top continuously extrudes the transparent encapsulation protective layer 3 downward, and the extrusion strip 12 at the bottom continuously extrudes the transparent substrate 1 upward. Through bidirectional extrusion force, the entire layered stacked structure is firmly pressed together, avoiding relative displacement or delamination between the layers when bending or vibrating, and ensuring the stability of the electrical connection. The transparent adhesive strip 13 at the bottom can be used to install it on the surface of equipment such as car windows and display back panels.

[0025] Example 2: Based on Example 1, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a fixed shaft 10, a torsion spring 1001 and a locking rod 11. The terminal block 8 has mounting grooves 9 on both sides. The fixed shaft 10 is fixedly connected in the mounting grooves 9. The locking rod 11 is rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft 10. The torsion spring 1001 is connected between the locking rod 11 and the terminal block 8.

[0026] When connecting the plug to the transparent antenna, first manually open the locking lever 11. The locking lever 11 causes the torsion spring 1001 to rotate and deform. After the plug is inserted into the terminal block 8, release the locking lever 11. The torsion spring 1001 returns to its original shape, causing the locking lever 11 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset. The locking lever 11 hooks the plug, forming a self-locking structure, which effectively prevents the feeder from falling off due to accidental pulling, ensuring long-term stability and reliability of signal transmission.
