技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种通信装置,尤其涉及一种穿戴式通信装置。The present invention relates to a communication device, in particular to a wearable communication device.
背景技术Background technique
随着移动通信技术的快速发展,各个国际大厂已经开始陆续进行穿戴式通信装置(wearable communication device)的开发。例如,随着路跑风气的盛行以及居家、健康与儿童照护的发展,智慧鞋(smart shoes)近年来逐渐受到瞩目,并可用于管控人们的定位资讯、生理参数以及路跑资讯等。穿戴式通信装置的整体环境(例如:外观设计、天线空间、接地面尺寸以及天线周围环境)与目前的手持式装置相去甚远,因此穿戴式通信装置在天线设计上也必须有不一样的设计思维与应用技术。With the rapid development of mobile communication technology, various international manufacturers have started to develop wearable communication devices one after another. For example, with the popularity of road running and the development of home, health and child care, smart shoes have gradually attracted attention in recent years, and can be used to control people's positioning information, physiological parameters, and road running information. The overall environment of wearable communication devices (such as: appearance design, antenna space, ground plane size, and the surrounding environment of the antenna) is far from the current handheld devices, so wearable communication devices must also have a different antenna design. Thinking and Applied Technology.
以智慧鞋为例来看,现有的智慧鞋大多是直接采用模块化天线,并将模块化天线与接地面一同设置在鞋底或是鞋垫中。然而,上述做法只着重在智慧鞋的系统整合,而忽略了人体对于天线元件所造成的影响。因此,现有的智慧鞋的通信品质往往不佳,甚至会出现定位失真或失效的状况。Taking smart shoes as an example, most of the existing smart shoes directly use modular antennas, and the modular antennas are arranged in the sole or insole together with the ground plane. However, the above approach only focuses on the system integration of smart shoes, ignoring the influence of the human body on the antenna elements. Therefore, the communication quality of the existing smart shoes is often poor, and even positioning distortion or failure may occur.
发明内容SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
本发明提供一种穿戴式通信装置,包括设置在鞋体结构的鞋舌内的接地元件与天线元件,从而有助于提升穿戴式通信装置的通信品质。The present invention provides a wearable communication device, which includes a ground element and an antenna element arranged in a shoe tongue of a shoe body structure, thereby helping to improve the communication quality of the wearable communication device.
本发明的穿戴式通信装置,包括鞋体结构、接地元件与天线元件。鞋体结构包括鞋舌。接地元件设置在鞋舌。天线元件设置在鞋舌,并邻近接地元件的一边缘。此外,天线元件操作在第一频段,且接地元件的长度不小于第一频段的最低频率的1/4波长。The wearable communication device of the present invention includes a shoe body structure, a grounding element and an antenna element. The body structure includes a tongue. The grounding element is provided on the tongue. The antenna element is disposed on the tongue, adjacent to an edge of the ground element. In addition, the antenna element operates in the first frequency band, and the length of the ground element is not less than 1/4 wavelength of the lowest frequency of the first frequency band.
在本发明的一实施例中,上述的天线元件与接地元件设置在基板上,且基板埋设在鞋舌内。In an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned antenna element and grounding element are disposed on a substrate, and the substrate is embedded in the shoe tongue.
基于上述,本发明的穿戴式通信装置包括鞋体结构,且接地元件与天线元件是设置在鞋体结构的鞋舌。因此,将有效地降低周遭环境或是人体对天线元件与接地元件所造成的影响,从而有助于提升穿戴式通信装置的通信品质。Based on the above, the wearable communication device of the present invention includes a shoe body structure, and the ground element and the antenna element are disposed on the shoe tongue of the shoe body structure. Therefore, the influence of the surrounding environment or the human body on the antenna element and the ground element will be effectively reduced, thereby helping to improve the communication quality of the wearable communication device.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
为使本发明的上述特征和优点能更明显易懂,下文特举实施例,并配合所附图作详细说明如下。In order to make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the following embodiments are given and described in detail with the accompanying drawings as follows.
图1是依据本发明一实施例的穿戴式通信装置的示意图。如图1所示,穿戴式通信装置100可例如是一智慧鞋。具体而言,穿戴式通信装置100包括鞋体结构110,且鞋体结构110包括鞋舌111、鞋身112、鞋头113、鞋带孔114以及鞋口115。此外,穿戴式通信装置100还包括天线元件120以及接地元件130。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a wearable communication device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the
天线元件120与接地元件130是设置在鞋舌111,且天线元件120邻近接地元件130的一边缘。举例来说,穿戴式通信装置100还包括基板140。天线元件120与接地元件130设置在基板140的一表面上,且基板140可埋设在鞋舌111内。换言之,天线元件120、接地元件130与基板140可设置在鞋舌111的夹层空间内。此外,基板140可例如是一软性印刷电路板,并可顺应人体的足部的表面进行弯折,从而致使鞋舌111可贴附在人体的足部的表面上。The
天线元件120可操作在第一频段,且接地元件130的长度不小于(也即,大于或是等于)第一频段的最低频率的1/4波长。因此,将有助于天线元件120的微型化。此外。当使用者穿上穿戴式通信装置100时,鞋舌111是位于人体的足部的上方,也即人体的足部不会遮蔽到设置在鞋舌111内的天线元件120与接地元件130。因此,将可避免天线元件120与接地元件130受到人体的影响,也即将可降低周遭环境对天线元件120与接地元件130所造成的影响,从而有助于提升穿戴式通信装置100的通信品质。The
举例来说,天线元件120所涵盖的第一频段可例如是,全球定位系统(globalpositioning system,简称GPS)所使用的1.57542GHz频段。此外,设置在鞋舌111内的天线元件120,将有利于穿戴式通信装置100接收来自天空中GPS的卫星信号,从而可避免穿戴式通信装置100出现定位失真或失效的状况。再者,设置在鞋舌111内的天线元件120与接地元件130也不容易受到周遭环境的影响,从而可提升穿戴式通信装置100的通信品质的稳定性。相对地,随着通信品质的稳定性的提升,穿戴式通信装置100将无须额外设置匹配电路或是匹配元件,从而有助于降低穿戴式通信装置100的生产成本。For example, the first frequency band covered by the
更进一步来看,穿戴式通信装置100还包括射频电路150与电池160。其中,射频电路150与电池160设置在基板140上。也即,射频电路150与电池160也可设置在鞋舌111的夹层空间内。此外,射频电路150可通过同轴缆线电性连接至天线元件120的馈入点,以提供信号至天线元件120或是接收来自天线元件120的信号。电池160可用于提供穿戴式通信装置100所需的电力。例如,电池160可提供操作电压至射频电路150。Looking further, the
图2与图3分别是依据本发明一实施例的天线元件的示意图,且以下将参照图2与图3进一步说明天线元件120的结构与操作。如图2与图3所示,天线元件120包括第一辐射部210、馈入部220与第二辐射部230。其中,馈入部220的第一端具有馈入点FP2,且馈入部220的第二端电性连接第一辐射部210。2 and FIG. 3 are schematic diagrams of an antenna element according to an embodiment of the present invention, respectively, and the structure and operation of the
值得一提的是,馈入部220与第一辐射部210可形成贴片天线(patch antenna)结构,且天线元件120可通过贴片天线结构操作在第一频段。具体而言,第一辐射部210可例如是一方形金属片。此外,由于接地元件130的长度不小于第一频段的最低频率的1/4波长,因此第一辐射部210(也即,方形金属片)的边长201可小于第一频段的最低频率的1/2波长,从而有助于天线元件120的微型化。例如,在一实施例中,第一辐射部210(也即,方形金属片)的边长201可约为第一频段的最低频率的1/6至1/8波长。举例而言,第一频段可例如是1.57542 GHz频段,且第一辐射部210(也即,方形金属片)的边长201可例如是23毫米(mm)。It is worth mentioning that the
请继续参照图3,第一辐射部210(也即,方形金属片)包括电性相连的第一部分310与第二部分320。也即,第一辐射部210(也即,方形金属片)可基于馈入部220划分成第一部分310与第二部分320。其中,第一部分310包括相邻的第一边缘SD31与第二边缘SD32。第一部分310的第一边缘SD31电性连接馈入部220的第二端,且第一部分310的第二边缘SD32电性连接第二辐射部230的第一端。此外,第二辐射部230的第二端电性连接馈入部220,且第二辐射部230环绕第一部分310的第一边缘SD31与第二边缘SD32。Please continue to refer to FIG. 3 , the first radiation portion 210 (ie, the square metal sheet) includes a
因此,如图3所示,第二辐射部230、第一部分310与馈入部220将可形成环形天线(loop antenna)结构,且天线元件120可通过环形天线结构操作在第二频段,例如:2.45GHz频段。具体而言,第二辐射部230、第一部分310与馈入部220可形成一闭槽孔330,且闭槽孔330的周长约为第二频段的最低频率的1/2波长。此外,第二辐射部230可例如是一C字形金属片,以此环绕第一部分310的第一边缘SD31与第二边缘SD32。Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3 , the
图4是依据本发明一实施例的穿戴式通信装置在未放入人体组织模拟液时的天线元件的返回损失图,且图5是依据本发明一实施例的穿戴式通信装置在放入人体组织模拟液时的天线元件的返回损失图。如图4与图5所示,在未放置以及放置人体组织模拟液的情况下,天线元件120的频率范围皆可涵盖1.57GHz以及2.4GHz~2.5GHz。此外,图6是依据本发明一实施例的天线元件的辐射效率图,其中曲线610为在未放入人体组织模拟液时的天线元件120的辐射效率,且曲线620为在放入人体组织模拟液时的天线元件120的辐射效率。FIG. 4 is a diagram of the return loss of the antenna element of the wearable communication device according to an embodiment of the present invention when the body tissue simulant is not placed, and FIG. 5 is a graph of the wearable communication device according to an embodiment of the present invention placed in the human body Return loss plot of the antenna element when tissue simulant. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , the frequency range of the
如图6所示,相较于在未放入人体组织模拟液的情况来看,当穿戴式通信装置100放入人体组织模拟液时,天线元件120的辐射效率的下降幅度小于1dB。换言之,将天线元件120与接地元件130设置在鞋舌111内,可有效地降低周遭环境或是人体对天线元件120与接地元件130所造成的影响。因此,即使是在放入人体组织模拟液的情况下,天线元件120依旧可保有良好的辐射效率,从而有助于提升穿戴式通信装置100的通信品质。As shown in FIG. 6 , when the
综上所述,本发明的穿戴式通信装置包括鞋体结构,且天线元件与接地元件是一同设置在鞋体结构的鞋舌。因此,将有效地降低周遭环境或是人体对天线元件与接地元件所造成的影响,从而有助于提升穿戴式通信装置的通信品质。此外,天线元件可操作在第一频段,且接地元件的长度不小于第一频段的最低频率的1/4波长。因此,将有助于天线元件的微型化。To sum up, the wearable communication device of the present invention includes a shoe body structure, and the antenna element and the grounding element are disposed together on the shoe tongue of the shoe body structure. Therefore, the influence of the surrounding environment or the human body on the antenna element and the ground element will be effectively reduced, thereby helping to improve the communication quality of the wearable communication device. In addition, the antenna element can operate in the first frequency band, and the length of the ground element is not less than 1/4 wavelength of the lowest frequency of the first frequency band. Therefore, miniaturization of the antenna element will be facilitated.
