As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the electronic device 10 includes a main body 100, a movable element 110, and an antenna 120.

Wherein, the body includes a main board 101 inside. Illustratively, in the present embodiment, the motherboard 101 may include a processor, a Read Only Memory (ROM), a Random Access Memory (RAM), a bus, an input/output (I/O) interface, a communication module, a power management module, a sensor module, and the like. The processor may comprise, for example, a general purpose microprocessor (e.g., a CPU), an instruction set processor and/or associated chipset, and/or a special purpose microprocessor (e.g., an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)), among others. The processor may also include on-board memory for caching purposes. The Communication module may include, for example, a mobile Communication module (e.g., a GSM module, a 4G module, a 5G module), a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) (e.g., a Wireless fidelity (WiFi) Network) Communication module, a Near Field Communication (NFC) module, a Bluetooth (Bluetooth) Communication module, and the like. The sensor module may include, for example, an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope sensor, a distance sensor, a light sensor, a magnetic sensor, and the like.

It is to be understood that the structure of the main board 101 in the embodiment of the present application is only an example, and the present application does not specifically limit the structure of the main board 101. In practical applications, the motherboard 101 may contain more or less components than those described above, and various components in the motherboard 101 may be combined or separated.

The antenna 120 is disposed in the moving element 110 and electrically connected to the main board 101. The antenna 120 may be used to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals. According to implementations of the present disclosure, the antenna 120 may be coupled with a communication module in the motherboard 101, so that the electronic device 10 may communicate with other devices through a wireless communication network. The antenna 120 may be, for example, a microstrip antenna.

As shown in FIG. 1, the moveable member 110 is moveable relative to the body 100. When the movable member 110 moves from the first position to the second position, the distance between the antenna 120 and the body 100 is increased. In practical applications, the movable element 110 may be disposed near the left or right side of the main body 100, or near the top or bottom of the upper main body 100. In the present embodiment, the movable member 110 is disposed on the right side of the body 100.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, by disposing the antenna 120 in the movable element 110, the antenna 120 moves away from the body 100, and simultaneously, the antenna 120 also moves away from the electronic devices and metal components inside the body, thereby increasing the clearance area range around the antenna 120, reducing the interference when the antenna 120 transmits and receives signals, and making the communication stability stronger.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, when the movable element 110 is at the first position, the first surface of the movable element 110 and the second surface of the main body 100 (the back surface of the main body 100) face the same direction, that is, an included angle between the movable element 110 and the main body 100 is 0 °. When the movable member 110 is in the second position, the first surface of the movable member 110 and the first surface of the main body 100 (the front surface of the main body 100) face in the same direction, i.e., the included angle between the movable member 110 and the main body 100 is 180 °.

The movable range of the movable element 110 relative to the body 100 can be set according to actual requirements, in this embodiment, the movable range of the movable element 110 is from the first position to the second position, that is, the included angle between the movable element 110 and the body 100 is from 0 ° to 180 °. It should be noted that in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the movable member 110 may also continue to move in the same direction after moving from the first position to the second position, so that the included angle between the movable member 110 and the body 100 is greater than 180 °.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the moveable member 110 may be movable in a flip-flop fashion from a first position to a second position. In order to achieve the function of folding the movable element 110 relative to the body, the electronic device 10 may further include a hinge 130, and the hinge 130 is disposed between the body 100 and the movable element 110 for connecting the body 100 and the movable element 110. The moveable member 110 is in the first position when the hinge 130 is in the closed position and the moveable member 110 is in the second position when the hinge 130 is opened 180.

Accordingly, in order to keep the antenna 120 as far away from the body 100 as possible to avoid interference, the antenna 120 is disposed at an end of the movable member 110 far away from the hinge 130.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the movable member 110 can be folded with respect to the main body 100, the connection wire between the antenna 120 disposed in the movable member 110 and the main board 101 disposed in the main body needs to have a certain bending resistance. Based on this, the electronic device 10 may further include a flexible circuit board 140, and the flexible circuit board 140 is disposed between the antenna 120 and the main board 100 for transmitting the electrical signal between the antenna 120 and the main board 100. In addition, in order to protect the flexible circuit board 140 from being damaged during bending, two metal sheets may be disposed on two sides of the flexible circuit board 140, and the flexible circuit board may be wrapped between the two metal sheets. When the moveable member 110 is in the first position, the foil is in a bent state, and the foil can gradually unfold as the moveable member 110 moves from the first position to the second position.

It is understood that when the moving part 110 includes other electronic components besides the antenna 120 and needs to be connected to the motherboard 101, the flexible circuit board 140 can also be used to connect the other electronic components to the motherboard 101 and transmit electrical signals between the electronic components and the motherboard 101.

FIG. 4 schematically illustrates a rear view of an electronic device with a moveable member in a first position according to another embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 5 schematically illustrates a rear view of the electronic device with the moveable member in the second position.

As shown in fig. 4 to 5, in addition to the structure of the electronic device 10 shown in fig. 1 to 3, for example, the body 100 in the electronic device 20 may further include a groove 102, and the groove 102 has an opening 102 a. The groove 102 is disposed on a first surface (back surface) of the body 100, and one end of the movable member 110 is connected to the groove 102. As shown in fig. 4, when the movable element 110 is in the first position, the movable element 110 is received in the opening 102a of the groove 102, and as shown in fig. 5, when the movable element 110 is in the second position, the movable element 110 is located outside the groove 102, so that the opening 102a leaks out.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the groove 102 is provided, so that the movable element 110 can be accommodated in the groove 102, and thus the volume of the electronic device 10 can be reduced, and the carrying by a user is facilitated. In addition, the movable element 110 is accommodated in the groove 102, so that the probability of collision of the movable element by a foreign object can be reduced, and the movable element is protected from being damaged.

Fig. 6 schematically illustrates a rear view of an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 6, in addition to the structure of the electronic device 20 shown in fig. 4 to 5, the body 100 of the electronic device 30 further includes a heat sink 103, and the heat sink 103 is disposed inside the body 100 and near the bottom of the groove 102. The heat sink 103 is connected to the motherboard 101 through a heat conductive material, and is configured to dissipate heat generated by the motherboard 103. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the movable piece 110 is in the first position, the inside of the opening 102a of the groove 102 is in an open state, and the heat dissipation member 103 located at the bottom of the groove 102 is exposed to the outside of the body 100, so that heat generated from the main board 101 can be dissipated through the opening 102a of the groove 102.

With the rapid development of the electronic chip industry, the processor chip in the electronic device has higher and higher integration level and stronger performance, and the heat productivity is larger and larger accordingly. Particularly, when large software such as game software runs, the main board 101 generates a large amount of heat, and at this time, the movable element 110 is moved to the second position, so that the heat dissipation member 103 at the bottom of the groove 102 is exposed to the outside of the main body 100, and thus more air can contact the heat dissipation member 103, and the heat dissipated by the heat dissipation member 103 is transferred out, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the main board 101.
