The working principle of the embodiment of the application can be referred to as the following expression:

when the first antenna module 40 is disposed on the first base 20, the second antenna module 50 is disposed on the second base 30; when the first antenna module 40 is disposed on the second base 30, the second antenna module 50 is disposed on the first base 20; in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first antenna module 40 is disposed on the first base 20, and the second antenna module 50 is disposed on the second base 30. The first base 20 can be switched between a first state in the accommodating cavity 11 and a second state in which at least a portion of the first base extends out of the housing 10 through the first opening under the driving of the driving component 60, and meanwhile, the first base 20 is connected with the second base 30, so that the second base 30 can be switched between a third state in the accommodating cavity 11 and a fourth state in which at least a portion of the second base extends out of the housing 10 through the second opening, and when the first base 20 and the second base 30 both extend out of the housing 10 at least partially, the first antenna module 40 and the second antenna module 50 can normally operate, so that a setting space of the first antenna module 40 and the second antenna module 50 does not need to be reserved on a display screen of the electronic device, thereby increasing the setting space of the display screen and further increasing the screen occupation ratio of the whole electronic device.

It should be noted that the moving direction of the first base 20 when the first state is switched to the second state can be referred to as the C direction in fig. 3, and the moving direction of the second base 30 when the third state is switched to the fourth state can be referred to as the D direction in fig. 3.

In addition, the state of the first base 20 corresponds to the state of the second base 30, that is, when the first base 20 is in the first state in the accommodating cavity 11, the second base 30 is in the third state in the accommodating cavity 11; when the first base 20 is in the second state at least partially extending out of the housing 10 through the first opening, the second base 30 is in the fourth state at least partially extending out of the housing 10 through the second opening.

Wherein, as an optional implementation mode, the first opening and the second opening are communicated, and it can also be understood that: the first opening and the second opening may constitute one opening, and the first opening and the second opening may be two portions of the opening. Like this, can make first base 20 drive second base 30 when moving more convenient, compare with the mode that first opening and second opening do not communicate, can reduce the position between first opening and the second opening and to first base 20 or the blockking of second base 30 to make first base 20 can be more smooth drive second base 30 motion.

It should be noted that, as another alternative embodiment, the first opening and the second opening may also be disposed at intervals, that is, the first opening and the second opening are not communicated.

The specific types of the first antenna module 40 and the second antenna module 50 are not limited herein, for example: as an alternative embodiment, the first antenna module 40 is used for gesture recognition and/or facial recognition, and the second antenna module 50 is used for communication. Like this, because first antenna module 40 and second antenna module 50's effect is different for electronic equipment can realize recognition function such as gesture recognition and face identification through first antenna module 40, can realize communication function through second antenna module 50 simultaneously, has strengthened electronic equipment's the variety of function.

As an alternative implementation, referring to fig. 5, the first antenna module 40 may include an antenna radiator 41, a metal substrate 42, and a radio frequency structure 43, where the antenna radiator 41 and the radio frequency structure 43 are electrically connected through the metal substrate 42. It can also be understood that: the antenna radiator 41, the metal substrate 42, and the rf structure 43 are sequentially stacked, so that loss of rf signals transmitted between the rf structure 43 and the antenna radiator 41 can be reduced. In addition, the structure of the second antenna module 50 can be referred to the related expression of the first antenna module 40, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

In addition, the first antenna module 40 may be referred to as a radar antenna module, the second antenna module 50 may be referred to as a communication antenna module, and when the first antenna module 40 and the second antenna module 50 both operate in the millimeter wave band, the first antenna module 40 may also be referred to as a millimeter wave radar antenna module, and the second antenna module 50 may also be referred to as a millimeter wave communication antenna module.

When the first base 20 is in the second state at least partially extending out of the housing 10, and the second antenna module 50 is in the fourth state at least partially extending out of the housing 10, the first antenna module 40 can work normally; when the first base 20 is in the first state located in the accommodating cavity 11 and the second base 30 is in the third state located in the accommodating cavity 11, it is described that gesture recognition or facial recognition is not required at this time, and the first antenna module 40 may not operate, so that the power consumption of the whole electronic device may be reduced.

It should be noted that, when the first antenna module 40 is in the working state, the radiation direction (which may also be understood as the maximum gain direction) of the first antenna module 40 may be a direction toward the user. In this way, the accuracy of the user's gesture or facial recognition results may be improved.

It should be noted that, no matter the first base 20 is in the first state or the second state, and no matter the second base 30 is in the third state or the fourth state, in order to ensure that the communication function of the electronic device can be normally implemented, the second antenna module 50 may be in the working state all the time.

In addition, the first antenna module 40 and the second antenna module 50 may also be controlled not to operate within a preset time period (the electronic device is in a stop state, for example, the preset time period may be from 0 am to 7 am), so that the power consumption of the whole electronic device may also be reduced.

As an alternative embodiment, the first antenna module 40 may be disposed only on the first base 20 or the second base 30; of course, as another alternative embodiment, a part of the components of the first antenna module 40 may be disposed on the first base 20, and another part of the components of the first antenna module 40 may be disposed on the second base 30. In this way, since the first antenna module 40 can cover two adjacent directions of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13 facing the housing 10, the radiation direction of the first antenna module 40 can be increased, and the radiation effect of the first antenna module 40 can be enhanced.

In addition, the arrangement of the second antenna module 50 can be referred to the corresponding description of the first antenna module 40, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

For example: as an optional implementation manner, the first antenna module 40 includes M antenna transmitting units and N antenna receiving units, and when the first base 20 is in the second state and the second base 30 is in the fourth state, the M antenna transmitting units and the N antenna receiving units are distributed in an array, where M and N are positive integers.

Therefore, the M antenna transmitting units and the N antenna receiving units are distributed in an array mode, so that the antenna transmitting units and the antenna receiving units are distributed more uniformly, signals transmitted by the antenna transmitting units and signals received by the antenna receiving units are more uniform, and the transmitting effect of the antenna transmitting units on the signals and the receiving effect of the antenna receiving units on the signals are enhanced.

In addition, some antenna emitting units of the M antenna emitting units may be located on the first base 20, and another some antenna emitting units of the M antenna emitting units may be located on the second base 30, and the antenna units may be arranged at intervals, so that the occurrence of mutual interference phenomenon when signals are emitted between two adjacent antenna emitting units may be reduced.

It should be noted that, the N antenna receiving units may refer to the corresponding expressions of the M antenna transmitting units, and are not described herein again.

In addition, the antenna transmission unit located on the first base 20 may be located on a first surface of the first base 20, and the antenna reception unit located on the first base 20 may be located on a second surface of the first base 20, the first surface and the second surface being adjacent. Of course, the antenna transmitting unit and the antenna receiving unit located on the second base 30 can be referred to the above-mentioned corresponding expressions of the antenna transmitting unit and the antenna receiving unit located on the first base 20.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 4, a fixing shaft 31 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 11, the fixing shaft 31 is disposed in the second base 30, and the first base 20 drives the second base 30 to rotate around the fixing shaft 31. In this way, since the second base 30 rotates around the fixing shaft 31, the limit effect on the second base 30 can be enhanced when the second base 30 rotates, and the phenomenon that the second base 30 is separated from the housing 10 when moving can be reduced.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 4, a first rack 21 is disposed on the first base 20, a second rack 32 is disposed on the second base 30, and the first base 20 and the second base 30 are engaged and connected through the first rack 21 and the second rack 32.

The first rack 21 may be disposed on a surface of the first base 20 facing the second base 30, the second rack 32 may be disposed on a surface of the second base 30 facing the first base 20, and the first rack 21 and the second rack 32 are engaged.

In this embodiment, the first base 20 and the second base 30 are driven by the engagement of the first rack 21 and the second rack 32, so that the driving effect is enhanced, the use cost is reduced, and meanwhile, the first rack 21 and the second rack 32 are engaged, so that the gap between the first base 20 and the second base 30 can be reduced, and the waterproof and dustproof effects between the first base 20 and the second base 30 are enhanced.

Of course, the specific shape of the first rack 21 and the second rack 32 is not limited herein, for example: in an alternative embodiment, the first rack 21 is a linear rack, and the second rack 32 is an arc rack. Thus, since the space occupied by the first base 20 and the second base 30 is reduced, the transmission effect between the first base 20 and the second base 30 can be ensured.

The shapes of the first rack 21 and the second rack 32 refer to a line connecting the positions of the addendum circles.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 4, the first base 20 is provided with a third rack 22, and the driving assembly 60 includes a driving motor, and a gear on an output shaft 61 of the driving motor is meshed with the third rack 22. Thus, the output shaft 61 of the driving motor is engaged with the third rack 22 to drive the first base 20 to move, so that the transmission efficiency and the transmission reliability can be enhanced.

The third rack 22 may also be a linear rack, so that the driving motor may drive the first base 20 to move along the length direction of the third rack 22, that is, when the electronic device is vertically disposed, the third rack 22 is vertically disposed, and the first base 20 may move along the vertical direction. Accordingly, the second base 30 can rotate around the fixed shaft 21 under the driving of the first base 20.

In this way, only one driving assembly 60 needs to be provided, so that the first base 20 and the second base 30 can be driven to move simultaneously, the number of the driving assemblies 60 and the arrangement space are reduced, and the volume of the whole electronic device is reduced.

As an alternative embodiment, the gear on the output shaft 61 of the driving motor is a diagonal gear, and the third rack 22 is a diagonal rack. In this way, it is possible to further enhance the efficiency of the transmission between the drive motor and the third rack 22, and to reduce the failure rate of the transmission.

As an alternative embodiment, at least one of the first base 20 and the second base 30 is further provided with a functional component. Therefore, a space does not need to be reserved for the functional components on the display screen of the electronic equipment, and the screen occupation ratio of the electronic equipment can be further increased.

The functional module may be an optical functional module, and the optical functional module may include at least one of a camera, a flash, and an optical sensor.

As an alternative embodiment, when the first base 20 is in the first state, the first base 20 closes the first opening; when the second base 30 is in the third state, the second base 30 closes the second opening. Thus, the sealing performance of the whole electronic equipment can be further enhanced, so that the waterproof and dustproof effects of the electronic equipment are enhanced.
