[ detailed description ] embodiments
The present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are provided for reference and illustration purposes only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the present invention provides an external antenna structure of an electronic device, which enables a user to easily add or replace at least one antenna a of a desired frequency band without detaching the electronic device 900 (see fig. 6). The bottom side of the electronic device 900 (which may be a tablet pc, for example) has at least one device connecting portion 9 as shown in fig. 5; of course, the device connecting portions 9 may be disposed on both sides of the electronic device 900, as long as the top side of the position where the antenna a is optimally mounted is avoided.
The external antenna structure 100 of the present invention includes: an external member 1 and at least one connecting member 3, preferably a cover 2. It should be noted that the number of the antennas a, the device connecting portion 9, and the docking piece 3, and the antenna connector 13 and the docking connecting portion 141, which will be described later, may be at least one (that is, 1 or more), and in this embodiment, two are exemplified, but it is needless to say that the number may be 3 or more in actual use, depending on the user's needs.
The external connection member 1 is externally fixed to the electronic device 900 (see fig. 5), and the external connection member 1 has a first side 11 and a second side 12 which are far away from each other. The first side 11 is located on the top side of the electronic device 900 and is provided with two antenna connectors 13 (see fig. 4), so that each antenna a is detachably connected to each antenna connector 13 from the outside of the external member 1 and is electrically communicated with each other; the second side 12 is located at the bottom of the electronic device 900 and corresponds to the device connecting portions 9, and the second side 12 of the external member 1 preferably further has a frame 14, the frame 14 has two butt connecting portions 141, and each pair of the butt connecting portions 141 corresponds to each device connecting portion 9.
Each connector 3 is electrically connected to each antenna connector 13, and in the present embodiment, is electrically connected between the corresponding connector 3 and the antenna connector 13 through a wire 16. Basically, each of the connectors 3 is only disposed on each of the connecting portions 141, or each of the connectors 3 is further positioned on the frame body 14 corresponding to each of the connecting portions 141, so that each of the connectors 3 can be detachably electrically connected to each of the device connecting portions 9 when the external connection member 1 is fixed on the electronic device 900, preferably by the cover body 2, as described in detail below.
The cover body 2 has a covering surface 21 and an outer side surface 22 opposite to each other, and the cover body 2 is covered on the frame body 14 by the covering surface 21 and fixed to each other, so that the cover body has waterproof and dustproof effects after being covered and fixed. Since the cover 2 is located at the bottom edge of the external antenna structure 100, the external antenna structure 100 will be placed along with the electronic device 900, and therefore, if the cover 2 is made of an elastic material, the cover will have a shock-proof effect.
Therefore, when a user needs to add or replace an antenna a in another frequency band, the user only needs to butt joint the required antenna a to the antenna connector 13 from the outside of the external component 1, and then the antenna a can be electrically butt-jointed to the device connecting part 9 of the electronic device 900 through the antenna connector 13, the wire 16 and the butt-joint part 3, so that the electronic device 900 does not need to be disassembled at all, and the existing waterproof design of the electronic device 900 is not affected or moved. In other words, by adding the external antenna structure 100 of the present invention to the electronic device 900, the user can easily add or replace the antenna a with a desired frequency band without detaching the electronic device 900.
As shown in fig. 2, 3 and 5, the covering surface 21 of the cover body 2 may further be provided with a floating groove 23, so that each pair of connectors 3 can be disposed on each pair of connecting portions 141 and electrically connected to each device connecting portion 9 by floating in the floating groove 23. The floating groove 23 is formed by recessing from the covering surface 21 to the direction of the outer side surface 22.
Specifically, each butt piece 3 includes a butt body 31 and a floating body 32, and the butt body 31 is fixed to the floating body 32. The two floating bodies 32 are accommodated in the floating groove 23 with a certain floating gap from the floating groove 23. In this way, the two floating bodies 32 can be slidably floated in the floating grooves 23, so that the two docking bodies 31 accurately correspond to the two docking connection portions 141 and the two device connection portions 9, and finally the two docking bodies 31 can be detachably electrically docked to the two device connection portions 9.
In addition, as shown in fig. 6, it is noted that, the external member 1 further protrudes with a protrusion 15, and the outer side surface 22 of the cover 2 is preferably flush with the protrusion 15, so that the external antenna structure 100 together with the electronic device 900 can stably stand on a plane F, and the top edge of the electronic device 900 stands on the plane F with the antenna a facing upward, so that the antenna a can also face upward, thereby facilitating the antenna a to wirelessly transmit signals.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 5, when the external antenna structure 100 of the present invention is fixed to the electronic device 900 by external screw connection (for example, by screw connection to screw hole), a plurality of screw sleeve elements 17 may be further added between the external member 1 and the electronic device 900, so as to utilize the screw sleeve elements 17 to extend the length of the screw hole to facilitate screw connection.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present specification and drawings are included in the scope of the present invention, and are well known.
