Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to portable radio and electronic devices, and more particularly to portable radio and electronic devices with enhanced functions. [Background technology]
[0002] In the current scenario, when a user is outdoors, he or she uses a Mobile Wireless Fidelity (WiFi®; MiFi®) device that provides network online connectivity. However, when the user returns home, the user switches to connecting to the home Consumer Premise Equipment (CPE) to enjoy network functionality. Invisibly, the MiFi device becomes redundant and suffers from low utilization. Furthermore, traditional MiFi devices require portability and low power consumption, while traditional CPEs require high power consumption and ultra-fast online connectivity—these are completely different needs. Currently, the market lacks portable wireless and electronic devices that can increase product utilization, improve overall performance, and save financial overhead. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable wireless device and electronic device with expansion capabilities, allowing users to carry a lightweight MiFi device when they go out and then connect it to a CPE when they return home to enjoy the best entertainment provided by a high-speed network. Connecting and expanding not only improves product utilization and overall performance, but also reduces economic overhead, thereby solving the problems of low utilization rates for traditional MiFi devices and the additional costs associated with having to purchase them separately because the needs of the MiFi device are completely different from those of the CPE. [Means for solving the problem]

The structure of the expanded function portable wireless device 100a is the same as that of the expanded function portable wireless device 100a of Figure 2, so a description thereof will be omitted. 4 shows only the first cellular antenna 112 and first WiFi antenna 114 of the first antenna 110, the wireless communication module 120, the port 130, the WiFi unit 140, the battery 170, the connector 189, the power switch 191, and the charger 192.

The WiFi module 242 is connected to the wireless communication module 120 via the second ports 132 and 232, and can expand the WiFi connection performance.
[0025] The extended heat dissipation module 250 includes a third heat dissipation member 252 and a fourth heat dissipation member 254. The third heat dissipation member 252 is provided on one side of the WiFi module 242 and is used to dissipate heat generated by the WiFi module 242 and the front-end module FEM. The fourth heat dissipation member 254 is provided on the other side of the WiFi module 242 and is used to dissipate heat generated by the WiFi module 242 and the front-end module FEM.
[0026] The second antenna 210, the port 230, the WiFi unit 240, and the extended heat dissipation module 250 are mounted on a chassis 260. The chassis 260 has at least one first opening 262 and at least one second opening 264, with the first opening 262 located at one end of the chassis 260 and the second opening 264 located at the other end of the chassis 260.
[0027] The assembly includes a WiFi power supply 281, a network power supply (Ethernet® Power) 282, a network jack 283 (RJ45), a network physical layer (Ethernet® PHY) 284, a transformer (XFMR) 285, a power jack 286, and a battery connection member 287. The WiFi power supply 281 provides power to the WiFi unit 240. The network power supply 282 provides power to the network physical layer 284 and the transformer 285.

Battery connection member 287 is connected to fifth port 235 and is used to connect to battery 170.
[0028] In this embodiment, the expanded function portable wireless device 100a may be a MiFi device, and the electronic device 300 may be a CPE. The fourth ports 134 and 234 may be connected to each other by magnetic attraction, and the fifth ports 135 and 235 may also be connected to each other by magnetic attraction. The power jack 286 may be a DC jack, and the battery connection member 287 may be a battery spring, but the present invention is not limited to these.
[0029] Please also refer to FIGS. 2, 3B, 4, 5B, and 6. FIG. 6 is a side view of the electronic device 300, which is expanded by connecting the expanded-function portable wireless device 100a of FIG. 3B to the wireless extension device 200a of FIG. 5B. When the expanded-function portable wireless device 100a is connected to the wireless extension device 200a, the first case 162 and the second case 164 of the chassis 160 are joined to both sides of the chassis 260, respectively. At least one heat dissipation path TP is formed between the first opening 262 and the second opening 264, thereby dissipating heat generated by the expanded-function portable wireless device 100a and the wireless extension device 200a. The electronic device 300 may be upright, so that the heat dissipation path TP forms a vertical channel, with the first opening 262 located downward and the second opening 264 located upward. When the assemblies inside the electronic device 300 generate heat, the internal air is heated, forming an ascending air current, and the hot air is expelled through the upper second openings 264. At the same time, the lower first openings 262 simultaneously draw in cool air from outside the body, forming a chimney effect and strengthening the air convection. The higher the temperature generated by the assemblies, the faster the air convection speed, which is beneficial to reducing the temperature inside the body of the electronic device 300.
[0030] In practical application, when a user is outdoors, the enhanced mobile wireless device 100a can be used alone, which includes five first cellular antennas 112 (5G antennas) and two first WiFi antennas 114, connects to the Internet via 5G, and shares it with other mobile devices, such as mobile phones or laptops, via WiFi, allowing the user to use the network anytime and anywhere, and using WiFi connections can also reduce the power consumption of the battery 170.
[0031] When the user returns home or to the office, the user may connect the expanded function portable wireless device 100a to the wireless extension device 200a to extend the online connection function. In the connection process, the expanded function portable wireless device 100a is first shut down. After the shutdown is complete, the battery 170 and the second case 164 are removed, the first case 162 and the second case 164 are separated, and then the battery 170 is moved together with the second case 164 to the back of the wireless extension device 200a to charge the battery 170.
[0032] After removing the battery 170 and the second case 164 from the portable wireless device 100a with expanded functions, three first ports 131, one second port 132, one third port 133, one fourth port 134, and one fifth port 135 are exposed, and the second heat dissipation member 154 is also exposed so as to facilitate heat dissipation.
[0033] Next, the expanded mobile wireless device 100a and the wireless extension device 200a are combined. With the battery 170 and the second case 164 removed and the second heat dissipation member 154 exposed, the internal space extends to the entire electronic device 300, increasing the overall internal space, which is more advantageous for heat dissipation. With the same power, the larger the space, the lower the average temperature, allowing for more temperature buffer space. In other words, with the same temperature threshold, the WiFi power can be further increased to improve signal coverage.
[0034]
[0023] As a result, the electronic device 300 of the present invention has the extended function portable wireless device 100a as its main architecture, and can be expanded to a CPE by connecting with the wireless extension device 200a, allowing users to use one device for multiple purposes and achieving maximum utilization, while also significantly improving the online connection function of the wireless network. Furthermore, the expansion and space of the heat dissipation module 150 and the extended heat dissipation module 250 can enhance the overall heat dissipation capability, thereby further improving the transmission power of the electronic device 300 and improving the coverage range and speed of online connections.
[0035] Please also refer to Figures 2, 4, 6, and 7. Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of the beamforming technology of the present invention. When the extended function portable wireless device 100a is connected to the wireless extension device 200a, the port 130 of the extended function portable wireless device 100a and the port 230 of the wireless extension device 200a are coupled to each other. At this time, the number of 5G antennas increases from five antennas (i.e., five first cellular antennas 112) to eight antennas (i.e., five first cellular antennas 112 and three second cellular antennas 212), and the number of WiFi antennas increases from two antennas (i.e., two first WiFi antennas 114) to four antennas (i.e., two first WiFi antennas 114 and two second WiFi antennas 214), thereby realizing beamforming of four sets of antennas and achieving a longer transmission distance. This allows the present invention to increase the number of antennas through connection and expansion, further providing beamforming technology, resulting in wider WiFi coverage and higher online connection speeds.
[0036] Please also refer to Figures 3B, 5B, 6, and 8. Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of a metal dome sheet 256 used in an extended heat dissipation module 250a of the present invention. The extended heat dissipation module 250a includes a third heat dissipation member 252a, a fourth heat dissipation member 254, and multiple metal dome sheets 256. The metal dome sheet 256 is connected to the third heat dissipation member 252a. The WiFi module 242 is connected between the third heat dissipation member 252a and the fourth heat dissipation member 254. When the extended function-equipped portable wireless device 100a is connected to the wireless extension device 200a, the metal dome sheet 256 is connected to the second heat dissipation member 154. The metal dome sheets 256 are made of thermally conductive elastic metal, and the WiFi module 142 can enhance heat dissipation through the metal dome sheets 256. One end of each metal dome sheet 256 can apply a certain pressure to the second heat dissipation member 154, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation capability of the WiFi module 142.
[0037] Please also refer to FIGS. 3B, 5B, 6, and 9. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating an expansion heat dissipation module 250b according to the present invention, in which a balance spring 258 is used. The expansion heat dissipation module 250b includes a third heat dissipation member 252b, a fourth heat dissipation member 254, multiple balance springs 258, and a fifth heat dissipation member 259. The balance spring 258 connects the third heat dissipation member 252b and the fifth heat dissipation member 259, and the fifth heat dissipation member 259 includes multiple heat dissipation fins 2592. The WiFi module 242 is connected between the third heat dissipation member 252b and the fourth heat dissipation member 254. When the expanded function-equipped portable wireless device 100a is connected to the wireless extension device 200a, the heat dissipation fins 2592 of the fifth heat dissipation member 259 are connected to the second heat dissipation member 154. In this embodiment, balance springs 258 are provided at the four corners of the third heat dissipation member 252b, and guide angles are formed on the heat dissipation fins 2592 that are to be contacted. The guide angles are used to guide the heat dissipation fins 2592 into the grooves of the second heat dissipation member 154 during contact. The balance springs 258 can reduce structural errors and ensure that all the heat dissipation fins 2592 are smoothly docked with the second heat dissipation member 154, thereby improving the heat dissipation capacity of the WiFi module 142.
[0038] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The main architecture is a portable wireless device with extended functions, which can be expanded into a CPE by connecting with a wireless extension device. This not only allows users to use one device for multiple purposes and maximizes utilization, but also significantly improves the online connection capabilities of wireless networks. 2. The connected and extended electronic device can strengthen its overall heat dissipation capability, improve its transmission power, and further increase the coverage range and speed of online connections. 3.
