Description
本發明關於一種天線訊號傳輸結構，尤指一種可有效提升耐彎折次數之天線訊號傳輸結構及裝設有此天線訊號傳輸結構之天線訊號傳輸模組及折疊式電子裝置。 The present invention relates to an antenna signal transmission structure, and in particular, to an antenna signal transmission structure that can effectively increase the number of times of bending resistance, an antenna signal transmission module and a foldable electronic device equipped with the antenna signal transmission structure.
隨著科技的進步與發展，各式各樣的折疊式電子裝置，例如筆記型電腦、行動電話等，已被廣泛地應用於每個人的日常生活中。一般而言，折疊式電子裝置係由上蓋以及底座組成，其中上蓋藉由轉軸結構樞接於底座，使得上蓋可相對底座打開或閉合。上蓋通常裝設有天線，且底座中通常裝設有射頻收發器，其中天線與射頻收發器可藉由扁平電纜(flat cable)或同軸電纜(coaxial cable)相互連接，以進行訊號傳輸。由於扁平電纜不具彎折能力或其耐彎折次數較低，因此，扁平電纜在經過多次彎折後，較容易損壞。此外，同軸電纜之體積較大，需佔用較大的空間，不利於折疊式電子裝置的薄型化設計。 With the advancement and development of science and technology, various foldable electronic devices, such as notebook computers, mobile phones, etc., have been widely used in everyone's daily life. Generally speaking, a foldable electronic device is composed of an upper cover and a base. The upper cover is pivotally connected to the base through a rotating shaft structure, so that the upper cover can be opened or closed relative to the base. The upper cover is usually equipped with an antenna, and the base is usually equipped with a radio frequency transceiver. The antenna and radio frequency transceiver can be connected to each other through a flat cable (flat cable) or a coaxial cable (coaxial cable) for signal transmission. Since flat cables have no bending ability or have a low bending resistance, flat cables are more likely to be damaged after being bent multiple times. In addition, coaxial cables are relatively large and require a large space, which is not conducive to the thin design of foldable electronic devices.
本發明提供一種可有效提升耐彎折次數之天線訊號傳輸結構及裝設有此天線訊號傳輸結構之天線訊號傳輸模組及折疊式電子裝置，以解決上述之問題。 The present invention provides an antenna signal transmission structure that can effectively increase the number of times of bending resistance, an antenna signal transmission module and a foldable electronic device equipped with the antenna signal transmission structure, so as to solve the above problems.

A plurality of conductors are selectively disposed on at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface of at least one flexible carrier.

The rotating shaft structure pivotally connects the first base body to the second base body. The antenna signal transmission structure is arranged in the rotating shaft structure.

如第1圖與第2圖所示，折疊式電子裝置1包含一第一座體10、一第二座體12、一轉軸結構14以及一天線訊號傳輸模組16。於此實施例中，折疊式電子裝置1可為筆記型電腦、行動電話或其它折疊式電子裝置，視實際應用而定。當折疊式電子裝置1為筆記型電腦時，第一座體10可為筆記型電腦之上蓋，且第二座體12可為筆記型電腦之底座。一般而言，折疊式電子裝置1中還會設有運作時必要的軟硬體元件，如處理器、顯示器、電路板、記憶體、電源供應器、應用程式、通訊模組等，視實際應用而定。
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the foldable
轉軸結構14將第一座體10樞接於第二座體12，使得第一座體10可相對第二座體12閉合或打開。於實際應用中，轉軸結構14可為樞紐轉軸(hinge)，但不以此為限。
The rotating
天線訊號傳輸模組16包含一天線訊號傳輸結構160、一天線162以及一射頻收發器164。天線訊號傳輸結構160設置於轉軸結構14中，使得天線訊號傳輸結構160可隨著轉軸結構14的轉動而彎折。天線162設置於第一座體10中，且天線162耦接於天線訊號傳輸結構160之一端。射頻收發器164設置於第二座體12中，且射頻收發器164耦接於天線訊號傳輸結構160之另一端。換言之，天線162與射頻收發器164可藉由天線訊號傳輸結構160相互連接，以進行訊號傳輸。於此實施
例中，天線162可藉由一電纜166耦接於天線訊號傳輸結構160之一端，且射頻收發器164可藉由另一電纜168耦接於天線訊號傳輸結構160之另一端。
The antenna
如第3圖所示，天線訊號傳輸結構160包含至少一可撓性載體1600以及複數個導體1602，其中複數個導體1602可選擇性地設置於至少一可撓性載體1600之上表面1604與下表面1606的至少其中之一上。於此實施例中，天線訊號傳輸結構160包含一個可撓性載體1600以及二個導體1602，其中一個導體1602設置於可撓性載體1600之上表面1604上，且另一個導體1602設置於可撓性載體1600之下表面1606上。因此，第3圖所示之天線訊號傳輸結構160係為單層的平面結構。可撓性載體1600之材料可為聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯(polyethylene terephthalate，PET)、聚醯亞胺(Polyimide，PI)、液晶高分子(liquid crystal polymer，LCP)等，視實際應用而定。於實際應用中，天線訊號傳輸結構160之外側可進一步印刷防氧化漆。
As shown in Figure 3, the antenna
請參閱第4圖，第4圖為根據本發明另一實施例之天線訊號傳輸結構160'的剖面示意圖。上述的天線訊號傳輸結構160可以天線訊號傳輸結構160'替換。天線訊號傳輸結構160'與上述的天線訊號傳輸結構160的主要不同之處在於，天線訊號傳輸結構160'包含複數個可撓性載體。如第4圖所示，天線訊號傳輸結構160'可包含三個可撓性載體1600a、1600b、1600c以及三個導體1602，其中一個導體1602設置於可撓性載體1600a之上表面1604上，一個導體1602設置於可撓性載體1600b之上表面1604上，且另一個導體1602設置於可撓性載體1600c之下表面1606上。因此，第4圖所示之天線訊號傳輸結構160'係為多層的平面結構。於此實施例中，複數個可撓性載體1600a、1600b、1600c相互堆疊且未壓合在一起。因此，當天線訊號傳輸結構160'隨著轉軸結構14的轉動而彎折時，複數個可撓性載體1600a、1600b、1600c可相對自由浮動，以降低應力集中現象，進而提升天線訊號傳輸結構160'之耐彎折次數。於實際應用中，天線訊號傳輸結構160
之外側亦可進一步印刷防氧化漆。
Please refer to Figure 4. Figure 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an antenna signal transmission structure 160' according to another embodiment of the present invention. The above-mentioned antenna
請參閱第5圖，第5圖為根據本發明另一實施例之天線訊號傳輸結構160"的剖面示意圖。上述的天線訊號傳輸結構160'可以天線訊號傳輸結構160"替換。天線訊號傳輸結構160"與上述的天線訊號傳輸結構160'的主要不同之處在於，複數個導體的至少其中之二並排地設置於至少一可撓性載體之上表面與下表面的至少其中之一上。如第5圖所示，天線訊號傳輸結構160"可包含三個可撓性載體1600a、1600b、1600c以及五個導體1602，其中一個導體1602設置於可撓性載體1600a之上表面1604上，三個導體1602並排地設置於可撓性載體1600b之上表面1604上，且另一個導體1602設置於可撓性載體1600c之下表面1606上。
Please refer to Figure 5. Figure 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an antenna
因此，本發明可根據實際之訊號傳輸需求，決定可撓性載體與導體之數量與配置，不以圖中所繪示之實施例為限。此外，導體之寬度亦可根據實際之訊號傳輸需求來決定，不以圖中所繪示之實施例為限。 Therefore, the present invention can determine the number and configuration of flexible carriers and conductors based on actual signal transmission requirements, and is not limited to the embodiments shown in the figures. In addition, the width of the conductor can also be determined according to actual signal transmission requirements and is not limited to the embodiment illustrated in the figure.
請參閱第6圖，第6圖為根據本發明另一實施例之天線訊號傳輸模組16'的示意圖。上述的天線訊號傳輸模組16可以天線訊號傳輸模組16'替換。天線訊號傳輸模組16'與上述的天線訊號傳輸模組16的主要不同之處在於，天線訊號傳輸模組16'之天線162直接耦接於天線訊號傳輸結構160之一端，且天線訊號傳輸模組16'之射頻收發器164直接耦接於天線訊號傳輸結構160之另一端，如第6圖所示。當然，第6圖所示之天線訊號傳輸結構160亦可以上述之天線訊號傳輸結構160'、160"替換。
Please refer to Figure 6, which is a schematic diagram of an antenna signal transmission module 16' according to another embodiment of the present invention. The above-mentioned antenna
因此，本發明可利用電纜將天線與射頻收發器耦接於天線訊號傳輸結構，或直接將天線與射頻收發器耦接於天線訊號傳輸結構，視實際應用而定。 Therefore, the present invention can use cables to couple the antenna and the radio frequency transceiver to the antenna signal transmission structure, or directly couple the antenna and the radio frequency transceiver to the antenna signal transmission structure, depending on the actual application.
綜上所述，本發明之天線訊號傳輸結構係由至少一可撓性載體以及複數個導體組成。天線與射頻收發器可藉由本發明之天線訊號傳輸結構相互連接，以進行訊號傳輸。本發明之天線訊號傳輸結構可以是單層或多層的平面結 構，較不佔空間，可設置於空間狹小的轉軸結構中，以利於折疊式電子裝置的薄型化設計。此外，本發明之天線訊號傳輸結構可藉由可撓性載體有效提升耐彎折次數，因此，天線訊號傳輸結構在經過多次彎折後，較不容易損壞。 To sum up, the antenna signal transmission structure of the present invention is composed of at least one flexible carrier and a plurality of conductors. The antenna and the radio frequency transceiver can be connected to each other through the antenna signal transmission structure of the present invention for signal transmission. The antenna signal transmission structure of the present invention can be a single-layer or multi-layer planar structure. The structure takes up less space and can be installed in a rotating shaft structure with a small space, which facilitates the thin design of foldable electronic devices. In addition, the antenna signal transmission structure of the present invention can effectively increase the number of bending resistance through the flexible carrier. Therefore, the antenna signal transmission structure is less likely to be damaged after multiple bends.
