Such as: as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the first casing 100 and the second casing 200 form an open state, in which the first casing 100 and the second casing 200 are arranged side by side, the first casing 100 and the second casing 200 are located on the same plane or approximately the same plane, there is no overlap between the first casing 100 and the second casing 200, and the first casing 100 and the second casing 200 are located on both sides of the rotating shaft 300, respectively.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a third structural schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 3 shows a state where the first and second housings 100 and 200 are folded with each other. The first casing 100 and the second casing 200 form a folded state, which means that the first casing 100 and the second casing 200 are laminated together, that is, the included angle between the first casing 100 and the second casing 200 is 0 degree or about 0 degree. When the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 form the folded configuration, the second housing 200 overlaps a portion of the first housing 100, for example, the second housing 200 overlaps the first region 101, the second housing 200 does not overlap the second region 102, the protruding portion 190 is exposed outside, and the protruding portion 190 is not covered by the second housing 120.

wherein the folded state includes an inner folded state and an outer folded state, the inner folded state means that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are both rotated along a side facing the display surface such that the first surface 170 is attached to the third surface 250 and the second surface 180 is facing away from the fourth surface 260; the outer folded state means that both the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are rotated along a side toward the non-display surface such that the second surface 180 conforms to the fourth surface 260 and the first surface 170 faces away from the third surface 250. In the electronic apparatus shown in fig. 3, the first casing 100 and the second casing 200 are in an outer folded state.

the thickness of the protruding portion 190 in the above embodiment is the same as the thickness of the second casing 200, so that when the first casing 100 and the second casing 200 are in the folded state, the surface of the protruding portion 190 is flush with the surface of the second casing 200, which improves the touch feeling of the electronic device 20.

As shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a fourth schematic structural diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. The radiator 400 may be disposed on the first case 100, and a projection of the radiator 400 is located on the projection 190. The radiator 400 may be formed by injection molding, such as injection molding using plastic, aluminum magnesium alloy, titanium aluminum alloy, or stainless steel, or may be formed by printing, such as printing a printing material containing a conductive material on a conductive medium, or may be formed by laser molding, such as plating a plastic bracket directly by using a laser technology. The radiator 400 may be formed of a metal such as stainless steel, a flexible circuit board, plastic, other suitable material, or a combination of any two or more of these materials.

The projection of the radiator 400 in the embodiment of the application is located on the protruding portion 190, so that the second casing 200 does not cover the radiator 400 no matter the electronic device 20 is in the open state or the folded state, thereby avoiding or reducing interference of the second casing 200 on the radiator 400, and improving the signal transmission performance of the radiator 400.

The number of the radiators 400 may be at least two. The radiators 400 are spaced apart from each other, and specifications (such as length, width, and material) of each radiator 400 may be the same or different.

For example, the first radiator 420 may be disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the connection portion of the first housing 100, such as the first radiator 420 may be disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the first connection portion 150. The first radiator 420 may also extend toward the first side 110 to increase the length of the first radiator 420, so as to improve the signal radiation intensity of the first radiator 420. Moreover, the portion of the first radiator 420 on the first side 110 does not exceed the edge of the protruding portion 190, so as to avoid that the first radiator 420 is too close to the second casing 200 to cause the first radiator 420 to be interfered by the second casing 200 when the first casing 200 and the second casing 400 are in the external folded state.

The shape of the first radiator 420 is matched with the structure of the first connection part 150, the first connection part 150 is a right-angle structure, and the shape of the first radiator 420 is also a right-angle structure; the first connection portion 150 has an arc structure, the first radiator 420 also has an arc structure, and the arc structure of the first connection portion 150 has the same arc degree as the arc structure of the first radiator 420.

The second sub radiator 444 may be disposed on the second connection portion 160 of the first housing 110 and attached to an outer circumferential surface of the second connection portion 160. The second sub-radiator 444 is configured to radiate a second antenna signal in a second frequency band. The second antenna signal of the second frequency band refers to an intermediate frequency radio frequency signal and a high frequency radio frequency signal. The second sub-radiator 444 is provided with a third feeding point, the third feeding point is connected to the third feed 560, and a third excitation current generated by the third feed 560 may be used to excite the second sub-radiator 444 to transmit a second antenna signal in the second frequency band.

The electronic device 20 may control the first switch 570 to be closed and the second switch 590 to be opened according to the current communication requirement, so that the first sub-radiator 442 is connected to the second feed 540, and transmits the second antenna signal of the first frequency band. The electronic device 20 may also control the first switch 570 to be opened and the second switch 590 to be closed, so that the second sub-radiator 444 is connected to the third feed 560 to transmit the second antenna signal in the second frequency band. It should be noted that the second radiator 440 can receive and transmit LTE signals. It can be understood that the second radiator 440, the second feed 540, the third feed 560, the second feed point, and the third feed point constitute an LTE master antenna, and the LTE master antenna can be used for receiving and transmitting LTE signals.
