Description

An electronic device Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display device technology, and in particular to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continued boom in the development of laptops, all-metal laptops have become increasingly common in pursuit of thinness, lightness, and high-end feel, which brings new challenges to laptop network signal connectivity.

[0003] In traditional laptops, the antenna is usually attached to the hinge cover of the display or the main body. The metal casing shields the antenna signal.

[0004] To avoid interfering with antenna signal reception and transmission, a common approach is to create a window in the metal casing and then use a rubber coating process to achieve a seamless appearance. However, this method requires additional steps and costs, involves complex molds, and is prone to problems at the window joint, resulting in defective products. Another solution is to add a connection terminal to the standard USB interface to connect an external antenna to enhance the signal. However, this method occupies the interface and requires additional structural components.

In this structure, a first support frame is fixedly connected to the first housing, and a second support frame is also fixedly connected to the second housing. The first and second support frames are rotatably connected.

Detailed Implementation

[0107] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 1. An embodiment of this application provides an electronic device, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, including:

[0109] The first housing 1 has an assembly cavity and a first through hole 101 communicating with the assembly cavity;

[0110] The second housing 2 is rotatably connected to the first housing 1 so that the second housing 2 has a snap-fit ​​state and an open state relative to the first housing 1;

[0111] Antenna module 3;

[0112] The flip connection structure 4 includes:

[0113] The first support frame 41 is disposed in the assembly cavity and is fixedly connected to the first housing 1;

[0114] The second support frame 42 is fixedly connected to the second housing 2, and the second support frame 42 is rotatably connected to the first support frame 41 so that the second housing 2 and the first housing 1 can be flipped relative to each other.

[0115] The first linkage 43 enables the second support frame 42 to work in conjunction with the antenna module 3, so that...

[0116] When the second housing 2 is in the snap-fit ​​state, the antenna module 3 is located inside the assembly cavity;

[0117] When the second housing 2 changes from the snap-fit ​​state to the flipped state, the second support frame 42 drives the antenna module 3 to move through the first linkage part 43, so that the antenna module 3 extends out of the first housing 1 through the first through hole 101.

[0118] In the electronic device provided in this application embodiment, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are rotatably connected by a flip connection structure 4. In the flip connection structure 4, the first support frame 41 is fixedly connected to the first housing 1, and the second support frame 42 is fixedly connected to the second housing 2. The first support frame 41 and the second support frame 42 are rotatably connected. Since the flip connection structure 4 has a first linkage part 43, when the second housing 2 is flipped relative to the first housing 1, the second support frame 42 can drive the antenna module 3 to move through the first linkage part 43, so that the antenna module 3 has a telescopic function. In the aforementioned electronic device, when the second housing 2 is in the snap-fit ​​state, the antenna module 3 is located in the assembly cavity of the first housing 1, which does not affect the overall appearance design. When the second housing 2 changes from the snap-fit ​​state to the flipped state, the second support frame 42 can drive the antenna module 3 to move through the first linkage part 43, so that the antenna module 3 extends out through the first through hole 101 on the first housing 1. In this way, when the device is opened, the antenna module 3 can extend out of the housing, which can improve the shielding problem of the housing on the antenna signal, enhance the signal, and does not require the addition of other mechanisms. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and can improve the production yield of the device.

[0119] In this embodiment of the application, the above-mentioned electronic device also includes a display screen, which is disposed on the second housing 2. When the second housing 2 is in a snap-fit ​​state, the display screen is opposite to the first housing 1. When the second housing 2 is in an open state, the display screen can be used to display the interface.

[0120] The aforementioned electronic devices can be laptops or other devices, and there are no restrictions here.

[0121] Specifically, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first housing 1 can be the outer shell of the main unit 110 of the laptop 100, which has a keyboard, motherboard, and other structures. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the second housing 2 can be the outer shell of the display screen 120 of the laptop 100, which has a display screen. As shown in Figure 3, when the display screen 120 of the laptop is engaged with the main unit 110, the second housing 2 can be engaged relative to the first housing 1. As shown in Figure 4, when the display screen 120 of the laptop is opened, the second housing 2 can be open relative to the first housing 1.

[0122] When the user uses the laptop, the display screen is open, and the second housing 2 rotates the second support frame 42 away from the main unit. The second support frame 42, through the first linkage part 43, causes the antenna module 3 to extend out of the main unit. When the user closes the laptop's display screen to the main unit, the second housing 2 rotates the second support frame 42 towards the main unit, and the second support frame 42, through the first linkage part 43, causes the antenna module 3 to retract into the main unit. Therefore, the retractable function of the antenna module 3 on the laptop improves the shielding of antenna signals by the housing when the laptop is open, without affecting the overall appearance design.

[0123] Optionally, the first housing 1 can also be the outer shell of the laptop's display screen, and the second housing 2 can also be the outer shell of the laptop's main body. A retractable antenna module 3 is provided on the laptop's display screen. The specific location of the antenna module 3 is not limited here and depends on the actual situation.

[0124] In the aforementioned laptop, the host assembly cavity contains a motherboard, and the antenna module 3 can be connected to the motherboard via a signal connection cable to realize signal transmission between the antenna module 3 and the motherboard.

[0125] The specific structure of antenna module 3 described above is not limited here and depends on the actual situation. For example, antenna module 3 may include a main antenna and a sub-antenna.

[0126] Specifically, a protective cap can be provided on the outside of the antenna module 3 to prevent the antenna from being damaged during extension and retraction, and to maintain the overall appearance of the device.

[0127] The materials of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 mentioned above can be metallic materials or other materials, without restriction, depending on the actual situation.

[0128] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in Figures 5 to 10, the first support frame 41 may include a rotating shaft 411 and a first guide rail 412;

[0129] The second support frame 42 can be fitted onto the rotating shaft 411 to be rotatably connected to the first support frame 41. The second support frame 42 includes a second guide rail 421, which is arc-shaped and arranged around the rotating shaft 411. The distance from the first end of the second guide rail 421 to the axis of the rotating shaft 411 gradually increases from the second end of the second guide rail 421.

[0130] The first linkage part 43 may include a first sliding part 431 and a second sliding part 432 connected to each other. The first sliding part 431 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 412, and the second sliding part 432 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 421.

[0131] The second support frame 42 rotates around the pivot 411, which allows the second sliding part 432 to slide along the second guide rail 421. The sliding of the second sliding part 432 along the second guide rail 421 can drive the first sliding part 431 to slide along the first guide rail 412. The sliding of the first sliding part 431 along the first guide rail 412 can drive the antenna module 3 to move.

[0132] In the aforementioned electronic device, when the second housing 2 is flipped relative to the first housing 1, the second support frame 42 rotates around the pivot 411. The rotation of the second support frame 42 causes the second sliding part 432 to slide along the second guide rail 421. Since the distance from the first end to the second end of the second guide rail 421 to the axis of the pivot 411 gradually increases, the sliding of the second sliding part 432 can drive the first sliding part 431 to slide along the first guide rail 412. In turn, the first sliding part 431 can drive the extension and retraction of the antenna module 3. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and can improve the production yield of the equipment.

[0133] Specifically, the extension direction of the second guide rail 421 intersects with the extension direction of the first guide rail 412;

[0134] When the second housing 2 is in the snap-fit ​​state, the distance from the intersection point where the extension direction of the second guide rail 421 intersects the extension direction of the first guide rail 412 to the axis of rotation 411 can be a first distance.

[0135] When the second housing 2 is in the flipped state, the distance from the intersection point of the extension direction of the second guide rail 421 and the extension direction of the first guide rail 412 to the axis of the rotating shaft 411 can be a second distance, which is different from the first distance.

[0136] In the aforementioned electronic device, during the process of the second housing 2 flipping relative to the first housing 1, the distance from the intersection point of the extension direction of the second guide rail 421 and the extension direction of the first guide rail 412 to the axis of rotation 411 gradually changes, which enables the second sliding part 432 to slide along the second guide rail 421 when the second support frame 42 rotates around the axis of rotation 411. The sliding of the second sliding part 432 along the second guide rail 421 can drive the first sliding part 431 to slide along the first guide rail 412, thereby the first sliding part 431 can drive the antenna module 3 to move.

[0137] Specifically, when the second housing 2 is in a snap-fit ​​state relative to the first housing 1, the state of the flip-connecting structure 4 can be as shown in Figure 9; when the second housing 2 is in a flip-open state relative to the first housing 1, the state of the flip-connecting structure 4 can be as shown in Figure 10.

[0138] The process of the second housing 2 changing from the snapped state to the flipped state, and the state change of the flipped connection structure 4, can be shown in Figures 11 and 12. The second support frame 42 rotates clockwise around the axis of the rotating shaft 411. The rotation of the second support frame 42 causes the second sliding part 432 to slide along the second guide rail 421 from the first end to the second end. The sliding of the second sliding part 432 drives the first sliding part 431 to slide upward along the first guide rail 412. The first sliding part 431 drives the antenna module 3 to extend out from the first through hole 101.

[0139] The process of the second housing 2 changing from the open state to the closed state, and the change in the state of the flip connection structure 4, can be shown in Figures 12 to 11. The second support frame 42 rotates counterclockwise around the axis of the rotating shaft 411. The rotation of the second support frame 42 causes the second sliding part 432 to slide from the second end to the first end along the second guide rail 421. The sliding of the second sliding part 432 drives the first sliding part 431 to slide downward along the first guide rail 412. The first sliding part 431 drives the antenna module 3 to retract from the first through hole 101 back into the first housing 1.

[0140] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in FIG7, the first sliding part 431 can extend along the extension direction of the first guide rail 412, and the first end of the first sliding part 431 can be connected to the antenna module 3; the first end of the second sliding part 432 can be connected to the second end of the first sliding part 431, and the second end of the second sliding part 432 can be slidably connected to the second guide rail 421, so that the second carrier 42 and the antenna module 3 can be linked and cooperated through the first linkage part 43.

[0141] Specifically, the first guide rail 431 can be straight to facilitate the movement of the first sliding part 431. Alternatively, the first guide rail 431 can also be curved; this is not a limitation and depends on the actual situation.

[0142] Specifically, the first guide rail 412 can be a first sliding groove, and the first sliding part 431 can slide in cooperation with the inner wall of the first sliding groove to realize that the first sliding part 431 slides along the first guide rail 412.

[0143] As shown in Figure 5, the first support frame 41 has a first sliding groove, and the opening of the first sliding groove can be arranged opposite to the second guide rail 421.

[0144] Specifically, as shown in Figure 7, the two opposite sidewalls of the first sliding groove have a first groove 4121, and the extension direction of the first groove 4121 is the same as the extension direction of the first sliding groove; the area of ​​the first sliding part 431 opposite to the first groove 4121 has a first protrusion 4311, and the first protrusion 4311 slides with the first groove 4121. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0145] In the aforementioned electronic device, by having the first protrusion 4311 on the first sliding part 431 cooperate with the first groove 4121 on the inner sidewall of the first sliding groove, the sliding direction of the first sliding part 431 can be restricted, so that the first sliding part 431 can only slide along the extension direction of the first sliding groove, and the first sliding part 431 can be prevented from detaching from the first sliding groove.

[0146] Optionally, to enable the first sliding part 431 to slide along the first guide rail 412, the first sliding part 431 may also have a groove that mates with the first guide rail 412, and the first sliding part 431 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 412 through the groove. Specifically, the structure of the first guide rail 412 and the first sliding part 431 is not limited here and can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0147] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6, the second guide rail 421 can be a first arc-shaped groove, and the second sliding part 432 can slide and cooperate with the inner wall of the first arc-shaped groove. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0148] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the second sliding part 432 is rod-shaped and can slide along the inner wall of the first arc-shaped groove.

[0149] Specifically, the second guide rail 421 can be arc-shaped, and the center line of the second guide rail 421 is offset from the axis of the rotating shaft 411, so that the distance from the first end to the second end of the second guide rail 421 to the axis of the rotating shaft 411 gradually increases.

[0150] Figure 13 shows the relationship between the angle at which the second housing 2 flips relative to the first housing 1 and the displacement distance of the first sliding part 431. By selecting a specific radius for the second guide rail 421, it can be seen from Figure 13 that the flipping angle of the second housing 2 and the displacement distance of the first sliding part 431 are not linearly related. When the flipping angle of the second housing 2 relative to the first housing 1 ranges from 0° to 127°, the displacement distance of the first sliding part 431 can be 1.85 mm. When the second housing 2 is in a snap-fit ​​state relative to the first housing 1, the flipping angle of the second housing 2 relative to the first housing 1 is 0°. The flipping angle of the second housing 2, the rotation angle of the second sliding part 432 around the axis 411, and the rotation angle of the first end of the first sliding part 431 are all equal.

[0151] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in Figures 6 and 10, the second support frame 42 further includes a covering part 422 and a turntable 424; the covering part 422 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 411 so that the second support frame 42 rotates around the rotating shaft 411; the turntable 424 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 411, and the turntable 424 is located between the first guide rail 412 and the covering part 422. The turntable 424 has a second guide rail 421, which has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0152] As shown in Figure 6, the turntable 424 may have a first connecting hole 4241 and a second guide rail 421, and the turntable 424 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 411 through the first connecting hole 4241.

[0153] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in FIG5, the rotating shaft 411 may have a first plane 4111, which is parallel to the extension direction of the rotating shaft 411; the covering part 422 has a second plane facing the inner wall of the rotating shaft 411, which is parallel to the extension direction of the rotating shaft 411; when the second housing 2 is in the snap-fit ​​state, the first plane 4111 is opposite to the second plane; when the second housing 2 is in the open state, the arc surface of the rotating shaft 411 slides in cooperation with the second plane.

[0154] In the aforementioned electronic device, the rotating shaft 411 has a first plane 4111, and the inner wall of the covering part 422 facing the rotating shaft 411 has a second plane. When the second housing 2 is in the fastening state, the first plane 4111 and the second plane are opposite to each other, so that the second housing 2 and the first housing 1 are fastened together and a torque is generated, thereby realizing the self-locking of the device in the fastening state and making the second support frame 42 not rotate in the absence of external force.

[0155] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in FIG5, the first support frame 41 further includes a fixed seat 414; as shown in FIG9, FIG10 and FIG14, the flip connection structure 4 may further include an intermediate support frame 44; wherein, the first end of the intermediate support frame 44 may be sleeved on the rotating shaft 411 and located between the covering part 422 and the turntable 424; the second end of the intermediate support frame 44 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 414 of the first support frame 41.

[0156] In the aforementioned electronic device, the intermediate support frame 44 is located between the turntable 424 and the covering part 422. When the second support frame 42 rotates on the first support frame 41, the intermediate support frame 44 always remains relatively stationary with respect to the first support frame 41. The intermediate support frame 44 can restrict the position of the second support frame 42 and prevent the second support frame 42 from moving along the extension direction of the rotating shaft 411, thereby preventing the second sliding part 432 from disengaging from the second guide rail 421.

[0157] As shown in Figure 14, the first end of the intermediate support frame 44 has a second connecting hole 441, and the second end of the intermediate support frame 44 has a locking block 442; as shown in Figure 8, the fixing seat 414 may have a locking hole that cooperates with the locking block 442; as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the second end of the intermediate support frame 44 is inserted into the locking hole through the locking block 442 to be fixedly connected to the first bearing frame 41.

[0158] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in Figures 8, 9 and 10, the flip connection structure 4 further includes a limiting part 45; the limiting part 45 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 411 and located on the side of the covering part 422 away from the intermediate support frame 44, and the limiting part 45 is used to limit the position of the second support frame 42.

[0159] In the aforementioned electronic device, the intermediate support frame 44 and the limiting part 45 are located at both ends of the covering part 422, respectively. The intermediate support frame 44 and the limiting part 45 cooperate to ensure that the second support frame 42 and the first support frame 41 are tightly fitted together, thus avoiding abnormal noise and empty travel of the flip connection structure 4.

[0160] Specifically, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, the limiting part 45 may include a washer 451 and a fastening nut 452; the washer 451 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 411; the fastening nut 452 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 411 and is located on the side of the washer 451 away from the covering part 422, and the fastening nut 452 is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 411, which can realize the tight cooperation between the second support frame 42 and the first support frame 41.

[0161] The tightness between the second support frame 42 and the first support frame 41 can be adjusted by the shim 451.

[0162] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in Figures 5 and 8, the first support frame 41 may further include a first base 413; the first support frame 41 is fixedly connected to the first housing 1 through the first base 413, and the first end of the rotating shaft 411 and the first guide rail 412 are connected to the first base 413. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0163] Specifically, the first base 413 may have a first screw hole 4131, and the first base 413 can be locked onto the first housing 1 by screws passing through the first screw hole 4131.

[0164] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, the fixing seat 414 can also be disposed on the first base 413.

[0165] The extension direction of the rotating shaft 411 can be parallel to the surface of the first base 413, and the extension direction of the first guide rail 412 can be perpendicular to the surface of the first base 413.

[0166] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in Figures 6 and 8, the second support frame 42 further includes a second base 423, which is connected to the covering part 422. The second support frame 42 is fixedly connected to the second housing 2 through the second base 423. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0167] Specifically, the second base 423 may have a second screw hole 4231, and the second base 423 can be locked onto the second housing 2 by screws passing through the second screw hole 4231.

[0168] Specifically, the turntable 424 can be fixedly connected to the second base 423.

[0169] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in FIG9, when the second housing 2 is in a snap-fit ​​state relative to the first housing 1, the surface of the second base 423 and the surface of the first base 413 can be arranged parallel to each other, so as to facilitate the flip-connection of the second housing 2 and the first housing 1.

[0170] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in Figures 15 to 18, the first housing 1 may include a first side plate 11, a second side plate 12, and a third side plate 13; wherein, the first side plate 11 is opposite to the second side plate 12, the surface of the first side plate is parallel to the extension direction of the rotating shaft, and the third side plate 13 is connected between the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12. When the second housing 2 is in a snap-fit ​​state, the first side plate 11 is opposite to the second housing 2; the first through hole 101 may be located on any one of the first side plate 11, the second side plate 12, and the third side plate 13, which has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

[0171] Specifically, the aforementioned electronic device can be a laptop computer, the first housing 1 can be the housing of the laptop computer host, the first side panel 11 of the first housing 1 can be the top cover of the host with a keyboard, the second side panel 12 can be the bottom cover of the laptop computer host, and the third side panel 13 can be a side cover connected to the top cover and the bottom cover.

[0172] The first base 413 can be fixedly connected to the second side plate 12, and the first through hole 101 can be set on the first side plate 11. The antenna module 3 can extend out of the first housing 1 from the first side plate 11, as shown in Figures 15 and 16. This can increase the clearance space and help improve the signal strength.

[0173] Alternatively, the antenna module 3 can also extend from the third side plate 13 into the second housing 2, as shown in Figures 17 and 18. This is not a limitation and depends on the actual situation.

[0174] Specifically, in the above-mentioned flip connection structure 4, the angle and position of the antenna module 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the setting position of the second guide rail 421 on the turntable 424. The angle and position of the antenna module 3 can be adjusted without limitation, depending on the actual situation.

[0175] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in Figures 15 and 16, the antenna module 3 can be disposed on the first sliding part 431, that is, the first sliding part 431 can be directly connected to the antenna module 3, and the first through hole 101 can be located on the first side plate 11.

[0176] In the above-mentioned electronic device, as shown in Figures 15 and 16, the antenna module 3 is disposed on the first sliding part 431. The antenna module 3 can be directly driven to extend out of the first housing 1 through the first through hole 101 on the first side plate 11 via the first sliding part 431.

[0177] Specifically, the extension direction of the first guide rail 412 can be perpendicular to the surface of the first side plate 11. The structure is simple and easy to implement, which allows the first sliding part 431 to drive the antenna module 3 to extend and retract in a direction perpendicular to the first side plate 11. When the second housing 2 is in the open state, the antenna module 3 extends out of the first housing 1 in a direction perpendicular to the first side plate 11. The structure is simple and conducive to optimizing the appearance design.

[0178] Specifically, when the extension direction of the first guide rail 412 is perpendicular to the surface of the first side plate 11, the extension direction of the first guide rail 412 can also be perpendicular to the surface of the first base 413, and the extension direction of the first guide rail 412 can also be perpendicular to the extension direction of the rotating shaft 411. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0179] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in FIG19, the first support frame 41 may further include a third guide rail 415, the extension direction of the third guide rail 415 intersecting the extension direction of the first guide rail 412; the first linkage part 43 may further include a third sliding part 433 and a floating connecting rod 434, the third sliding part 433 can slide along the third guide rail 415, the first end of the floating connecting rod 434 is hinged to the first sliding part 431, the second end of the floating connecting rod 434 is hinged to the third sliding part 433, the first sliding part 431 sliding along the first guide rail 412 can drive the third sliding part 433 to slide along the third guide rail 415; the antenna module 3 may be disposed on the third sliding part 433, and the first through hole 101 may be located on the third side plate 13.

[0180] In the aforementioned electronic device, the first sliding part 431 can be connected to the antenna module 3 via the third sliding part 433 and the floating connecting rod. The antenna module 3 can be directly mounted on the third sliding part 433. Through the linkage of the first slider 431, the third sliding part 433 and the floating connecting rod 434, the movement of the first sliding part 431 along the first guide rail 412 can be converted into the movement of the third sliding part 433 along the third guide rail 415, thus allowing the antenna module 3 to extend from the first through hole 101 of the third side plate 13. The structure is simple, and the antenna module 3 extending from the third side plate 13 is beneficial for the flipping of the second housing 2 and for optimizing the appearance design.

[0181] Specifically, the extension direction of the first guide rail 412 can be perpendicular to the surface of the first side plate 11, and the extension direction of the third guide rail 415 can be parallel to the surface of the first side plate 11 and perpendicular to the surface of the third side plate 13. The structure is simple and convenient for designing the extension and retraction of the antenna module 3.

[0182] As shown in Figure 19, the extension direction of the first guide rail 412 is perpendicular to the plane of the first base 413, and the extension direction of the third guide rail 415 can be parallel to the plane of the first base 413.

[0183] Figures 20 and 21 show the changes in the third sliding part 433 during the opening of the second housing 2. When the second housing 2 is opened, the second support frame 42 rotates around the pivot 411. The second support frame 42 drives the first sliding part 431 to slide upward along the first guide rail 412. The displacement of the first sliding part 431 is transmitted to the third sliding part 433 through the floating connecting rod 434. The third sliding part 433 extends outward along the third guide rail 415, thereby driving the antenna module 3 to extend outward.

[0184] Figures 21 to 20 show the changes in the third sliding part 433 during the fastening process of the second housing 2. The rotation of the second support frame 42 can drive the first sliding part 431 to slide downward along the first guide rail 412. The displacement of the first sliding part 431 is transmitted to the third sliding part 433 through the floating connecting rod 434. The third sliding part 433 retracts along the third guide rail 415, thereby driving the antenna module 3 to retract.

[0185] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in FIG19, the third guide rail 415 can be a slide groove; the third sliding part 433 slides in cooperation with the inner wall of the slide groove, which is simple in structure and easy to manufacture.

[0186] Optionally, to enable the third sliding part 433 to slide along the third guide rail 415, the third sliding part 433 may also be provided with a groove, through which the third sliding part 433 slides in cooperation with the third guide rail 415. Specifically, the specific structure of the third sliding part 433 and the third guide rail 415 is not limited here and can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0187] Figure 22 shows the relationship between the opening angle of the second housing 2 relative to the first housing 1, the displacement distance of the first sliding part 431, and the displacement distance of the third sliding part 433. Curve L1 represents the relationship between the opening angle of the second housing 2 and the displacement distance of the first sliding part 431, and curve L2 represents the relationship between the opening angle of the second housing 2 and the displacement distance of the third sliding part 433. A floating connecting rod 434 of a specific length was selected, and the relationship between the opening angle of the second housing 2 and the displacement distances of the first and third sliding parts 431 was calculated. As can be seen from Figure 22, when the maximum opening angle remains unchanged, using the floating connecting rod 434 to hinge the third sliding part 433 and directly connect it to the antenna module 3 with the first sliding part 431 not only changes the displacement direction of the antenna module 3 but also increases the displacement stroke of the antenna module 3. The maximum displacement distance of the antenna module 3 can be increased from 1.8 mm to 2.8 mm.

[0188] Specifically, the displacement distance of the antenna module 3 can be increased by adjusting the diameter of the turntable 424 on the second support frame 42 and the radius of the second guide rail 421. For example, when the diameter of the turntable 424 is 14mm, the radius of the second guide rail 421 is 3.7mm, and the length of the floating connecting rod 434 is 8mm, the maximum displacement distance of the third sliding part 433 can reach 5.35mm according to the motion simulation results of the third sliding part 433. Figure 23 shows the relationship between the angle at which the second housing 2 opens relative to the first housing 1 and the displacement distances of the first sliding part 431 and the third sliding part 433.

[0189] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in FIG24, the electronic device may further include a foot pad 5, which is located on the side of the second side plate 12 opposite to the first side plate 11. The foot pad 5 can provide support for the movement of the electronic device, making it convenient to place the device on a table.

[0190] For example, the second side panel 12 of the electronic device may have four feet arranged circumferentially on the side opposite to the first side panel 11.

[0191] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in Figures 24 to 30, the foot pad provided on the side of the second side plate 12 away from the first side plate 11 may include a first foot pad 51, and the first foot pad 51 is provided near the rotating shaft 411.

[0192] The flip-connection structure 4 may also include a second linkage part, which is connected to the first foot pad 51; the second linkage part enables the first foot pad 51 to be linked and cooperated with the second support frame 42.

[0193] When the second housing 2 is in the snap-fit ​​state, the distance between the first foot pad 51 and the second side plate 12 is the first gap;

[0194] When the second housing 2 is in the open state, the second support frame 42 drives the first foot pad 51 to move away from the second side plate 12 through the second linkage part. The distance between the first foot pad 51 and the second side plate 12 is the second gap, which is greater than the first gap.

[0195] In the aforementioned electronic device, the flip structure has a second linkage part, which is connected to the first foot pad 51. When the second housing 2 flips relative to the first housing 1, the second support frame 42 can drive the antenna module 3 to move through the first linkage part 43, and drive the first foot pad 51 to move through the second linkage part, so that both the antenna module 3 and the first foot pad 51 have telescopic functions.

[0196] In the above-mentioned electronic device, as shown in Figures 26 and 27, when the second housing 2 is in the snap-fit ​​state, the antenna module 3 is located in the assembly cavity of the first housing 1, and the distance between the first foot pad 51 and the second side plate 12 is the first spacing; specifically, at this time, the distance between the first foot pad 51 and the second side plate 12 can be zero, that is, the first foot pad 51 is in contact with the second side plate 12.

[0197] As shown in Figures 28 and 29, when the second housing 2 changes from the snap-fit ​​state to the flipped state, the first linkage part 43 can drive the antenna module 3 to extend out of the first through hole 101, which can improve the antenna signal; and the second linkage part can drive the first foot pad 51 to move away from the second side plate 12, so that the distance between the first foot pad 51 and the second side plate 12 is the second spacing, which is greater than the first spacing. The first foot pad 51 can lift the device, which increases the space between the device and the desktop, which is more conducive to heat dissipation. In addition, it can make the tilt angle of the side plate where the keyboard is located on the first housing 1 more ergonomic, enhancing the user experience.

[0198] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in Figures 30 to 34, the first support frame 41 may include a fourth guide rail 416, the extension direction of the fourth guide rail 416 intersecting the extension direction of the rotating shaft 411.

[0199] The second support frame 42 includes a fifth guide rail 425, which is arc-shaped and arranged around the rotating shaft 411. The distance from the first end of the fifth guide rail 425 to the axis of the rotating shaft 411 gradually increases from the second end of the fifth guide rail 425.

[0200] The second linkage part may include a fourth sliding part 461 and a fifth sliding part 462 connected to each other. The fourth sliding part 461 is slidably connected to the fourth guide rail 416, and the fifth sliding part 462 is slidably connected to the fifth guide rail 425.

[0201] The second support frame 42 rotates around the pivot 411, which allows the fifth sliding part 462 to slide along the fifth guide rail 425. The sliding of the fifth sliding part 462 along the fifth guide rail 425 can drive the fourth sliding part 461 to slide along the fourth guide rail 416. The sliding of the fourth sliding part 561 along the fourth guide rail 416 can drive the first foot pad 51 to move.

[0202] In the aforementioned electronic device, when the second housing 2 is flipped relative to the first housing 1, the second support frame 42 rotates around the pivot 411. The rotation of the second support frame 42 causes the fifth sliding part 462 to slide along the fifth guide rail 425. Since the distance from the first end to the second end of the fifth guide rail 425 to the axis of the pivot 411 gradually increases, the sliding of the fifth sliding part 462 can drive the fourth sliding part 461 to slide along the fourth guide rail 416. In turn, the fifth sliding part 462 can drive the extension and retraction of the first foot pad 51. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture, which can improve the production yield of the equipment.

[0203] Specifically, as shown in Figures 27 and 28, the second side plate 12 may have a second through hole 102, and the fourth sliding part 461 can be connected to the first foot pad 51 through the second through hole 102.

[0204] Specifically, as shown in Figure 30, the fourth guide rail 416 can be connected to the first base 413. The extension direction of the fourth guide rail 416 can be perpendicular to the plane of the first base 413 and perpendicular to the plane of the second side plate 12. Alternatively, the fourth guide rail 416 can form a preset angle with the first base 413 and the second side plate 12, which is not a right angle. This is not limited here and depends on the actual situation.

[0205] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in FIG30, the fourth guide rail 416 and the first guide rail 412 can be located on both sides of the rotating shaft 411 respectively. The extension direction of the fourth guide rail 416 is parallel to the extension direction of the first guide rail 412. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0206] In this embodiment of the application, as shown in FIG30, the fifth guide rail 425 can be disposed on the turntable 424 of the second support frame 42. The fifth guide rail 425 and the second guide rail 421 can be located on both sides of the first connecting hole 4241 of the turntable 424. The first end of the fifth guide rail 425 is close to the second end of the second guide rail 421, and the second end of the fifth guide rail 425 is close to the first end of the second guide rail 421. In this way, when the second support frame 42 rotates around the rotating shaft 411, the first sliding part 431 and the fourth sliding part 461 slide in opposite directions.

[0207] Specifically, when the second housing 2 is in a snap-fit ​​state relative to the first housing 1, the state of the flip-connecting structure 4 can be as shown in Figure 32; when the second housing 2 is in a flip-open state relative to the first housing 1, the state of the flip-connecting structure 4 can be as shown in Figure 33.

[0208] The process of the second housing 2 changing from the snap-fit ​​state to the open state can be shown in Figures 32 and 33. The second support frame 42 rotates clockwise around the axis of the rotating shaft 411. The rotation of the second support frame 42 causes the second sliding part 432 to slide along the second guide rail 421 and the fifth sliding part 462 to slide along the fifth guide rail 425. The sliding of the second sliding part 432 causes the first sliding part 431 to slide upward along the first guide rail 412. The first sliding part 431 causes the antenna module 3 to extend out from the first through hole 101. The sliding of the fifth sliding part 462 causes the fourth sliding part 461 to slide downward along the fourth guide rail 416. The first foot pad 51 is displaced, realizing the lifting of the equipment.

[0209] The process of the second housing 2 changing from the open state to the closed state can be shown in Figures 33 to 32. The second support frame 42 rotates counterclockwise around the axis of the rotating shaft 411. The rotation of the second support frame 42 causes the second sliding part 432 to slide along the second guide rail 421 and the fifth sliding part 462 to slide along the fifth guide rail 425. The sliding of the second sliding part 432 causes the first sliding part 431 to slide downward along the first guide rail 412. The first sliding part 431 causes the antenna module 3 to retract from the first through hole 101 into the first housing 1. The sliding of the fifth sliding part 462 causes the fourth sliding part 461 to slide upward along the fourth guide rail 416. The first foot pad 51 retracts.

[0210] Specifically, as shown in Figure 34, the fifth guide rail 425 can be arc-shaped, and the center line of the fifth guide rail 425 is offset from the axis of the rotating shaft 411 so that the distance from the first end to the second end of the second guide rail 421 to the axis of the rotating shaft 411 gradually increases.

[0211] Figure 35 shows the relationship between the angle at which the second housing 2 opens relative to the first housing 1 and the displacement distances of the first sliding part 431 and the fourth sliding part 461. With the radius of the fifth guide rail 425 being the same as that of the second guide rail 421, it can be seen from Figure 35 that the displacement curves of the first sliding part 431 and the fourth sliding part 461 are consistent.
