Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

As used in embodiments herein, a "electronic device" "a communication terminal" (or simply "terminal") includes, but is not limited to, an apparatus configured to receive/transmit communication signals via a wireline connection, such as via a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), a digital cable, a direct cable connection, and/or another data connection/network, and/or via a wireless interface (e.g., for a cellular network, a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), a digital television network such as a DVB-H network, a satellite network, an AM-FM broadcast transmitter, and/or another communication terminal). Communication terminals arranged to communicate over a wireless interface may be referred to as "wireless communication terminals", "wireless terminals" and/or "mobile terminals", "electronic devices". Examples of electronic devices include, but are not limited to, satellite or cellular telephones; a Personal Communications System (PCS) terminal that may combine a cellular radiotelephone with data processing, facsimile and data communications capabilities; PDAs that may include radiotelephones, pagers, internet/intranet access, Web browsers, notepads, calendars, and/or Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers; and conventional laptop and/or palmtop receivers or other electronic devices that include a radiotelephone transceiver. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

The embodiment of the application provides an electronic device, which comprises a first electronic component, a second electronic component and an electronic assembly; the second electronic component can be connected with the first electronic component in a sliding mode, and the second electronic component can slide relative to the first electronic component by controlling the movement of the second electronic component, so that the second electronic component is contained in the first electronic component or protrudes out of the first electronic component. The electronic component comprises a mainboard and an antenna component. The main board is disposed in the first electronic component, which may be a control center of the electronic device. The antenna assembly comprises a radio frequency module, an antenna radiator and a radio frequency line, the radio frequency module is arranged on the mainboard, the antenna radiator is arranged on the second electronic component, the radio frequency line is electrically connected between the radio frequency module and the antenna radiator, and when the second electronic component slides relative to the first electronic component, the radio frequency line can be driven to stretch or bend and retract. The control center of the electronic device is used for adjusting the position of the second electronic component relative to the first electronic component according to the performance index of the antenna radiator, so that a relatively large antenna clearance area is kept around the antenna radiator, and the antenna radiation efficiency of the electronic device can be improved.

In the course of research, the inventors found that, in order to ensure the reliability of the connection of the rf line, a sufficient redundant length needs to be reserved for the rf line, so that the rf line can still maintain the reliable connection between the antenna radiator and the rf module when the second electronic component is relatively far away from the first electronic component. However, when the second electronic component slides toward the first electronic component, the quality of the radio frequency line connection in the antenna assembly is affected and the antenna radiation performance is not ideal. Therefore, in the present invention, the inventors have focused on the cause of insufficient connection quality of the radio frequency line and the improvement method.

In the course of the above studies, the inventors' studies included: analyzing the connection quality of radio frequency lines with different lengths and the influence of the connection quality on the radiation performance of the antenna; analyzing the influence of different connection structures on the connection quality of the radio frequency wire and the radiation performance of the antenna under the same length of the radio frequency wire; and analyzing the influence of different mounting structures on the connection quality of the radio frequency wire and the radiation performance of the antenna under the same length of the radio frequency wire, and the like. After a great deal of research and analysis, the inventor finds that: in the electronic device, the radio frequency line needs to reserve enough redundant length to ensure the connection quality of the antenna, the overlong radio frequency line is easy to wind, bend or even break, and the winding and bending conditions of the radio frequency line are different by adopting different mounting structures. In view of the above situation, the inventor further finds that, when the rf wire has a suitable redundant length, the winding and bending conditions of the rf wire can be effectively improved by guiding the moving direction of the rf wire during the process of bending and retracting the rf wire.

In view of the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide the electronic device to improve the insufficient connection quality of the rf cable. Referring to fig. 1, in the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, taking the electronic device 100 in fig. 1 as an example, the electronic device 100 may be, but is not limited to, an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and a smart watch. The electronic device 100 of the present embodiment is described by taking a mobile phone as an example.

The electronic device 100 includes a first electronic component 10, a second electronic component 20, and an electronic component 30, the second electronic component 20 is connected to the first electronic component 10, and the electronic component 30 is provided in the first electronic component 10 and the second electronic component 20.

The first electronic component 10 includes a housing 12 and a main display 14 disposed on the housing 12. In this embodiment, the main display 14 includes the display panel 141, and may include a circuit or the like for responding to a touch operation performed on the display panel 141. The display panel 141 may be a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel, and in some embodiments, the display panel 141 is a touch screen 143.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, the first electronic component 10 further includes a mounting member 16, the mounting member 16 is disposed in the housing 12 and connected to a frame (not shown) of the electronic apparatus 100, and the mounting member 16 is used for mounting the electronic assembly 30. In some embodiments, the mounting member 16 is substantially plate-shaped, and the material of the mounting member 16 may include, but is not limited to, any one or a combination of metals, plastics, resins, and rubbers.

The second electronic component 20 is slidably connected to the first electronic component 10 and is disposed adjacent to the mount 16. Further, the second electronic component 20 is connected to the first electronic component 10 by a telescopic mechanism (not shown in the figure). In the embodiment shown in fig. 3 and 4, the second electronic component 20 is housed in the case 12. When the second electronic component 20 needs to be used, the second electronic component 20 is extended out of the housing 12, and is retracted into the housing 12 when the second electronic component 20 is not needed to be used, and when the second electronic component 20 includes a functional module (such as a camera module, a sensor module, etc.) that needs to be exposed, a hole or a mounting portion for exposing the functional module can be avoided being formed in the front surface of the housing 12 of the electronic device 100, so that the housing 12 maintains good appearance integrity, and the electronic device 100 is more beautiful. In addition, the second electronic component 20 can be extended and retracted relative to the housing 12 instead of being directly disposed on the front surface of the housing 12, which is beneficial to vacating more installation space for the display panel 141, so that the electronic device 100 has a higher screen occupation ratio on the premise of unchanging the external dimension, and is beneficial to the electronic device 100 to realize a full screen structure. In the present embodiment, the second electronic component 20 may include any one or a combination of plural kinds of the following modules: the function modules comprise a receiver module, a camera module, a sensor module, a fingerprint module, a display screen module and the like.

The electronic assembly 30 is connected to the mount 16 and the second electronic component 20. In the present embodiment, the electronic component 30 includes a main board 32 and an antenna component 36. The motherboard 32 may be the control center of the electronic device 100, which is fixedly connected to the mounting member 16, and the antenna assembly 36 is connected to the motherboard 32 and the second electronic component 20.

The antenna assembly 36 includes a radio frequency module 361, an antenna radiator 363, and a radio frequency line 365. In this embodiment, the rf module 361 is disposed on the motherboard 32, the antenna radiator 363 is disposed on the second electronic component 20, and the rf wire 365 is electrically connected between the rf module 361 and the antenna radiator 363. To ensure the reliability of the connection of the antenna assembly 36, the rf line 365 has sufficient redundancy so that when the second electronic component 20 extends out of the housing 12, the rf line 365 remains securely connected to the antenna radiator 363 and the motherboard 32. It should be understood that the antenna radiator 363 may be a portion of the antenna radiator of the whole electronic device 100, and other antenna radiators of the electronic device 100 may be disposed at other locations (e.g., within the first electronic component 10); alternatively, the antenna radiator 363 may be all antenna radiators of the electronic device 100.

Referring to fig. 5, further, the electronic apparatus 100 further includes a magnetic guiding mechanism 40, and the magnetic guiding mechanism 40 is disposed in the first electronic component 10 and adjacent to the rf line 365. The magnetic guiding mechanism 40 is used for guiding the movement of the rf wire 365, so that the rf wire 365 can follow the movement of the second electronic component 20 to obtain a relatively determined movement track when the second electronic component 20 moves relative to the first electronic component 10, thereby preventing the rf wire 365 from being wound or bent when the second electronic component 20 is retracted into the housing 12.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the second electronic component 20 moves relative to the first electronic component 10 and retracts into the first electronic component 10, the second electronic component 20 drives the rf wire 365 to bend, and at this time, the magnetic guiding mechanism 40 moves relative to the first electronic component 10 and drives the rf wire 365 to move, so that the rf wire 365 approximately follows the moving direction of the magnetic guiding mechanism 40 and obtains a relatively determined moving track, thereby preventing the rf wire 365 from being wound or bent when the second electronic component 20 retracts into the housing 12.

In the present embodiment, the magnetic force guide mechanism 40 is an electromagnet mechanism. The magnetic guiding mechanism 40 includes a fixed magnet 42 and a movable magnet 44, the fixed magnet 42 and the movable magnet 44 are disposed at an interval, and the rf wire 365 passes through between the fixed magnet 42 and the movable magnet 44.

The relative positional relationship between the fixed magnet 42 and the movable magnet 44 is not limited. In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the fixed magnet 42 is an electromagnet, and the moving magnet 44 is a permanent magnet. The fixed magnet 42 and the moving magnet 44 are arranged in parallel in the sliding direction of the second electronic component 20, and the moving magnet 44 is provided between the fixed magnet 42 and the second electronic component 20. Further, the fixed magnet 42 is fixed to the mounting member 16, the moving magnet 44 is slidably disposed on the mounting member 16, and by controlling the direction of the current flowing through the fixed magnet 42, the magnetic pole direction of the fixed magnet 42 can be controlled, so that the fixed magnet 42 attracts or repels the moving magnet 44, and the moving magnet 44 slides relative to the mounting member 16, so as to allow the moving magnet 44 to push the rf wire 365 to move when moving toward the fixed magnet 42, so that the rf wire 365 can obtain a relatively determined motion track, and thereby the rf wire 365 is prevented from being wound or bent when the second electronic component 20 is retracted into the housing 12.

Further, referring to fig. 6 and 7, in some embodiments, in order to further improve the anti-winding effect of the rf wire 365, the magnetic guiding mechanism 40 may further include a guiding element 46, and the guiding element 46 is connected to the moving magnet 44. The guiding element 46 is used to move the rf wire 365 when the moving magnet 44 moves towards the fixed magnet 42, so as to guide the moving direction of the rf wire 365.

Specifically, in the embodiment shown in fig. 7, the guide 46 includes a guide portion 461 and a pulley 463. The guide portion 461 is provided with a guide hole 4611, and the guide hole 4611 is used for the radio frequency wire 365 to pass through. The pulley 463 is rotatably connected to an end of the moving magnet 44 facing the fixed magnet 365, and spaced apart from the guide portion 461, and a rotation axis of the pulley 463 is substantially perpendicular to a sliding direction of the moving magnet 44. Further, in some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a clamping member 47, the clamping member 47 is connected to the moving magnet 44 and located on a side of the pulley 363 facing away from the guide 461, and the clamping member 47 is used for limiting a position of the radio frequency wire 365 relative to the moving magnet 44. In assembly, the radio frequency wire 365 is movably passed through the guide holes 4611 and wound around the pulley 463, and then the radio frequency wire 365 is passed through the holder 47.

In this embodiment, by providing the guide 46 and the holding member 47, the rf wire 365 can be connected to the moving magnet 44, so that a part of the rf wire 365 can follow the movement of the moving magnet 44 to obtain a relatively determined movement track, and meanwhile, the rf wire 365 can freely deform while extending and contracting due to the relatively movable connection between the rf wire 365 and the moving magnet 44, thereby reducing the probability of winding of the rf wire 365 itself. In addition, because the pulley 463 is arranged and the radio frequency wire 365 is wound around the pulley 463, the friction force generated when the pulley 463 drives the radio frequency wire 365 to move can be reduced, so that the friction damage of the radio frequency wire 365 is reduced, and the service life of the radio frequency wire 365 is prolonged.

It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the configuration of the guide 46 is not limited to that described above, for example, the guide 46 may include a combination of any one or more of the guide 461, the pulley 463, and the clamp 47 described above; for another example, the guide 46 may be a magnet attached to the rf wire 365 that is magnetically attracted to the moving magnet 44; even more, the guide 46 may be omitted and the guide hole 4611 may be opened directly in the moving magnet 44.

It is understood that the connection between the guide 46 and the moving magnet 44 may be an assembly connection, in other embodiments, the guide 46 and the moving magnet 44 may be an integral structure, or the guide 46 and the moving magnet 44 may be disposed on a mounting member (not shown), and the connection structure therebetween is not limited to the description herein. Even more, in some embodiments, the guide 46 and the moving magnet 44 may be detachably disposed from each other, for example, the guide 46 may be a magnet attached to the rf wire 365, which is magnetically attracted to the moving magnet 44.

Further, in order to prevent the connection between the rf line 365 and the rf module 361 from loosening, the electronic apparatus 100 further includes a fixing member 48, and the fixing member 48 is disposed on the mounting member 16 and is used for fixing the rf line 365. Specifically, in the embodiment shown in fig. 5 and 6, the fixing member 48 is located between the rf module 361 and the magnetic guiding mechanism 40, so that the connection point of the fixing member 48 and the rf line 365 is located between the rf module 361 and the magnetic guiding mechanism 40, that is, the connection point of the fixing member 48 and the rf line 365 is located between the joint of the rf line 365 and the connection point of the rf line 365 and the magnetic guiding mechanism 40, so that the portion between the portion of the rf line 365 held by the fixing member 48 and the joint of the rf line 365 and the rf module 361 is in a fixed state relative to the mounting member 16, and when the rf line 365 is extended or bent and retracted, the portion is in a stationary state relative to the first electronic component 10, which can ensure that the connection between the rf line 365 and the rf module 365 is not loosened due to the movement of the rf line 365, thereby improving the reliability of the connection of the rf line 365. It is understood that in other embodiments, a similar fixing member (not shown) may be disposed at an end of the rf wire 365 connected to the antenna radiator 363 to ensure that the connection between the rf wire 365 and the antenna radiator 363 is not loosened by the movement of the rf wire 365, thereby improving the reliability of the connection of the rf wire 365.

When the electronic apparatus 100 and the magnetic guiding mechanism 40 thereof are used, when the second electronic component 20 is relatively far away from the first electronic component 10, the second electronic component 20 drives the rf wire 365 to stretch, and at the same time, the moving magnet 44 of the magnetic guiding mechanism 40 moves away from the fixed magnet 42 to allow the rf wire 365 to stretch. When the second electronic component 20 is relatively close to the first electronic component 10 and retracted into the first electronic component 10, the second electronic component 20 drives the rf wire 365 to bend, and at this time, the moving magnet 44 of the magnetic guiding mechanism 40 moves toward the fixed magnet 41 and drives the rf wire 365 to move, so that the rf wire 365 moves approximately along with the moving direction of the moving magnet 44.

Compared with the prior art, the electronic device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application has the second electronic component 20 that can extend and contract relative to the first electronic component 10, and the antenna assembly 36 of the electronic device 100 spans between the second electronic component 20 and the first electronic component 10, and when the second electronic component 20 moves relative to the first electronic component 10 and retracts into the first electronic component 10, the radio frequency line 365 is driven to bend, and at this time, the magnetic guiding mechanism 40 moves relative to the first electronic component 10 and drives the radio frequency line 365 to move, so that the radio frequency line 365 takes a relatively determined motion trajectory, thereby avoiding the radio frequency line 365 from being wound or bent during the process of retracting and extending, and enabling the electronic device 100 to maintain relatively stable antenna connection quality on the premise of realizing a large screen occupation ratio.

It is understood that in other embodiments, the relative position relationship between the fixed magnet 42 and the movable magnet 44 may be other position relationships, and is not limited to the description herein. For example, the direction of the fixed magnet 42 and the moving magnet 44 may be perpendicular to the sliding direction of the second electronic component 20, or the direction of the fixed magnet 42 and the moving magnet 44 may form a predetermined angle with the sliding direction of the second electronic component 20, and the rf wire 365 passes through between the fixed magnet 42 and the moving magnet 44, so as to allow the moving magnet 44 to move toward the fixed magnet 42, push the rf wire 365 to move, and enable the rf wire 365 to obtain a relatively determined movement track.

It will also be appreciated that the magnetic polarity of the fixed magnet 42 and the moving magnet 44 is not limited, and that the moving magnet 44 can move towards the fixed magnet 42 and push the rf wire 365 to move. For example, in some embodiments, the stationary magnet 42 may be a permanent magnet and the moving magnet 44 may be an electromagnet; alternatively, in some embodiments, the fixed magnet 42 may be disposed between the moving magnet 44 and the second electronic component 20, and when the second electronic component 20 slides towards the first electronic component 10, the moving magnet 44 may slide towards the fixed magnet 42 and push the rf wire 365, so that the rf wire 365 is bent and retracted while acquiring a relatively determined motion trajectory.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, the present application further provides an embodiment in which the fixed magnet 42 is disposed between the moving magnet 44 and the second electronic component 20. In the present embodiment, the moving magnet 44 is disposed on a side of the rf wire 365 facing away from the second electronic component 20, and the moving magnet 44 is used for pulling the rf wire 365 to move. Furthermore, a connecting portion 441 is disposed on the moving magnet 44, the connecting portion 441 is disposed at an end of the moving magnet 44 facing the fixed magnet 42, and the rf wire 365 is movably connected to the connecting portion 441. In the present embodiment, the connection portion 441 is substantially annular, and the rf wire 365 is movably inserted into the annular connection portion 441. Furthermore, the connecting portion 441 is provided with a pulley 443, the rf line 365 is movably disposed through the connecting portion 441 and contacts with the pulley 443, and the pulley 443 is used to reduce the friction between the rf line 365 and the moving magnet 44, so as to reduce the friction damage of the rf line 365 and prolong the service life of the rf line 365. It is understood that in other embodiments, the pulley 443 may be in the form of a roller, a drum, or the like, and the rf wire 365 is wound around the pulley, the roller, the drum, or the like, and is not limited to the embodiment described. It will also be appreciated that in other embodiments, the shape of the connecting portion 441 may be other than circular, for example, the connecting portion 441 may be in the shape of a hook, a slot, etc., or the connecting portion 441 may be a separate connecting mechanism and connect the moving magnet 44 to the rf wire 365.

It is understood that in other embodiments, the connection manner between the second electronic component 20 and the first electronic component 10 of the electronic device 100 is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, referring to fig. 10, in some embodiments, the second electronic component 20 is disposed adjacent to the first electronic component 10 and forms an appearance structure of the electronic device 100 together with the first electronic component 10. At this time, the second electronic component 20 may be a display module, which may be a secondary display of the electronic device 100, or may be used to be spliced with the primary display on the first electronic component 10 to increase the display area of the electronic device 100, thereby facilitating the large screen design of the electronic device 100. When the second electronic component 20 moves, it can move relatively far from or close to the first electronic component 10.

Referring to fig. 11, based on the electronic device, an embodiment of the present application further provides a method for controlling an electronic device, where the method is applied to the electronic device, and the method adjusts a distance between an antenna radiator and a motherboard of the electronic device by monitoring a signal intensity of the antenna radiator, so as to improve an antenna radiation efficiency of the electronic device.

Further, in some embodiments, the second electronic component is controlled to slide while the magnetic guide mechanism is controlled to move to guide the radio frequency wire to move.

Further, in some embodiments, before controlling the second electronic component to slide, the relative position between the second electronic component and the first electronic component is acquired, and if the second electronic component is judged to protrude out of the first electronic component relatively, the second electronic component is controlled to slide to be accommodated in the first electronic component in a direction close to the first electronic component; if the second electronic component does not protrude from the first electronic component, the current position of the second electronic component is kept unchanged.

Further, the position of the second electronic component relative to the first electronic component may include at least the following three cases: 1) the second electronic component is in a first limit position relative to the first electronic component, namely a position where the second electronic component is located after the second electronic component slides to a limit distance in a direction away from the first electronic component; in a specific embodiment, the first extreme position may be a position in which the second electronic component protrudes completely beyond the first electronic component (see fig. 3); 2) the second electronic component is in a second limit position relative to the first electronic component, namely the position where the second electronic component is located after the second electronic component slides to a limit distance in a direction close to the first electronic component; in a specific embodiment, the second limit position may be a position in which the second electronic component is completely housed within the first electronic component (see fig. 1); 3) the second electronic component is in an intermediate position relative to the first electronic component, wherein the intermediate position is between the first extreme position and the second extreme position, i.e. the second electronic component is neither in the first extreme position nor in the second extreme position.

Therefore, in step S105, the relative position between the second electronic component and the first electronic component is obtained, and if the second electronic component is determined not to be located at the second limit position relative to the first electronic component, the second electronic component is controlled to slide to the second limit position in the direction approaching the first electronic component, and at this time, the second electronic component is accommodated in the first electronic component; and if the second electronic component is judged to be in the second limit position relative to the first electronic component, keeping the current position of the second electronic component unchanged.

Step S107: and judging whether the performance index is smaller than a second preset threshold value, if so, executing the step S109, and if not, executing the step S111. And the second preset threshold is smaller than the first preset threshold.

Step S109: the second electronic component is controlled to slide to a first limit position in a direction away from the first electronic component. The second electronic component drives the radio frequency wire to move and stretch when sliding. Further, in some embodiments, the second electronic component is controlled to slide while the magnetic guide mechanism is controlled to move to allow the radio frequency wire to extend.

Further, in some embodiments, before controlling the second electronic component to slide, the relative position of the second electronic component and the first electronic component is acquired, and if the second electronic component is not at the first limit position, the second electronic component is controlled to slide to the first limit position in a direction away from the first electronic component; if the second electronic component is already in the first extreme position, the current position of the second electronic component is kept unchanged.

Step S111: the second electronic component is controlled to slide to an intermediate position relative to the first electronic component. Further, in some embodiments, the second electronic component is controlled to slide while the magnetic guide mechanism is controlled to move to guide the rf wire to retract or allow extension.

Further, in some embodiments, before controlling the second electronic component to slide, the relative position of the second electronic component and the first electronic component is acquired, and if the second electronic component is not in the middle position, the second electronic component is controlled to slide to the middle position; if the second electronic component is already in the intermediate position, the current position of the second electronic component is kept unchanged. Further, the second electronic component drives the radio frequency wire to move and bend, retract or extend when sliding.

In the method for controlling the electronic device, when the performance index of the antenna radiator is detected, the performance index can be detected in real time, and the relative position of the first electronic component with respect to the second electronic device is adjusted according to the detection result, so that the distance between the antenna radiator and the electronic device motherboard is adjusted, and the antenna radiation efficiency of the electronic device can be improved.

Therefore, according to the control method of the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the application, the antenna radiator is arranged on the slidable second electronic component, and the position of the second electronic component is adjusted according to the performance index of the antenna radiator, so that a relatively large antenna clearance area can be maintained around the antenna radiator, and the antenna radiation efficiency of the electronic device can be improved.
