Detailed Description
Terminal equipment (such as mobile phones, tablet personal computers and the like) generally comprises a middle frame, wherein the middle frame is formed by surrounding multiple sections of frames, one or a part of frames are metal frames, and an antenna assembly and the middle frame share the metal frames so as to realize signal transmission and signal reception through the metal frames.
In the related art, an antenna assembly can only generate a linear polarization signal, but external devices such as a satellite, a communication base station, and the like generally transmit a circular polarization signal, and the antenna assembly can only receive a part of the circular polarization signal, so that the loss of the antenna assembly to the circular polarization signal is large, and the communication quality is affected.
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a folding terminal device, including but not limited to a folding mobile phone or a folding tablet computer. The folding terminal device comprises a first folding component 10 and a second folding component 20, wherein the first folding component 10 can comprise a first middle frame 101, the first middle frame 101 can be a rectangular frame body, that is, the first middle frame 101 is formed by sequentially connecting four side frames, and each side frame of the corresponding four side frames corresponds to one side of the rectangle; of course, the shape and structure of the first middle frame 101 in the present embodiment are not limited to this, and the first middle frame 101 may have other shapes and structures.
The first folding assembly 10 may further include a circuit board, a battery (not shown) and the like, and the first middle frame 101 may be used as a structural member, and the circuit board, the battery and the like may be fixed to the first middle frame 101.
Similarly, the second folding assembly 20 may include a second middle frame 201, where the second middle frame 201 may be a rectangular frame body, that is, the second middle frame 201 is formed by sequentially connecting four frames, and each of the four corresponding frames corresponds to one side of the rectangle; of course, the shape and structure of the second middle frame 201 in the present embodiment are not limited to this, and the second middle frame 201 may have other shapes and structures. The second folding assembly 20 may also include a circuit board and a battery (not shown) as structural members, and the circuit board and the battery may be fixed to the second middle frame 201.
In this embodiment, the first middle frame 101 and the second middle frame 201 are rectangular frames, and the length of the rectangular long side corresponding to the first middle frame 101 is equal to that of the rectangular long side corresponding to the second middle frame 201, and the length of the rectangular short side corresponding to the first middle frame 101 is equal to that of the rectangular short side corresponding to the second middle frame 201; to ensure that the first and second folding assemblies 10, 20 are approximately equal in shape and size.
With continued reference to fig. 1, the folding terminal device further includes a hinge mechanism 30, and the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20 are connected by the hinge mechanism 30, so that the first folding component 10 can rotate relative to the second folding component 20, and further folding and unfolding of the folding terminal device are achieved. Wherein, when the first folding component 10 rotates relative to the second folding component 20 to the extent that the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20 are positioned in the same plane, the folding terminal device is in an unfolded state; the folder-type terminal device is in a folded shape when the first folder assembly 10 and the second folder assembly 20 are folded such that the first folder assembly 10 and the second folder assembly 20 are overlapped together.
In implementations where the first folding assembly 10 includes a first middle frame 101 and the second folding assembly 20 includes a second middle frame 201, the hinge mechanism 30 may be coupled to the first middle frame 101 and the second middle frame 201 to effect the coupling of the first folding assembly 10 and the second folding assembly 20 to the hinge mechanism 30.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the folding terminal device in the present embodiment may further include a flexible display panel 70, where the flexible display panel 70 covers the first folding assembly 10 and the second folding assembly 20, so as to drive the flexible display panel 70 to bend when the first folding assembly 10 rotates relative to the second folding assembly 20. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 2, the folder-type terminal device may be an inward folder-type terminal device, and accordingly, when the first folder 10 and the second folder 20 are folded together, the flexible display panel 70 is sandwiched between the first folder 10 and the second folder 20. Of course, the folding terminal device may also be an out-folding terminal device, as shown in fig. 3; accordingly, when the first and second folder assemblies 10 and 20 are folded together, the flexible display panel 70 covers the outside of the first and second folder assemblies 10 and 20.
With continued reference to fig. 1, in this embodiment, the first antenna assembly 40 is disposed on the first folding assembly 10, the second antenna assembly 50 is disposed on the second folding assembly 20, and when the first folding assembly 10 rotates to a preset angle a relative to the second folding assembly 20, the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 generate elliptical polarized waves, so as to further realize communication between the folding terminal device and the external device. For example, referring to fig. 4, the ends of the electric field vector sums of the first antenna element 40 and the second antenna element 50 periodically rotate on an ellipse in a projection plane perpendicular to the propagation direction, thereby generating an elliptically polarized wave. The major axis of the ellipse may be different from the minor axis, or the major axis of the ellipse may be equal to the minor axis, that is, the ellipse is circular, and the elliptical polarized wave is a circular polarized wave.
When the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20 form the preset included angle a, the first antenna component 40 and the second antenna component 50 can generate elliptical polarized waves, and can communicate with devices such as satellites and communication base stations that generate circular polarized waves. For example, the preset included angle A may be 55 ° -125 °, such as: 60 °, 90 °, 120 °, etc. It can be understood that, at the preset included angle a of 55 ° -125 °, for example: 60 ° or 120 °, the flexible display panel 70 is convenient for a user to view while ensuring stability of the folder type terminal device. When the preset included angle a is smaller than 55 °, the distance between the first folding assembly 10 and the second folding assembly 20 is smaller, and it is difficult for the user to view the flexible display panel 70; when the preset included angle a is larger than 125 °, the folder terminal device approaches to the unfolded state, and at this time, the stability of the folder terminal device is insufficient, for example: toppling easily occurs when placed on a table top.
In the folding terminal device provided in this embodiment, the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20 are connected through the hinge mechanism 30, so that the first folding component 10 can rotate relative to the second folding component 20 to realize folding and unfolding; the first folding component 10 is provided with a first antenna component 40, the second folding component 20 is provided with a second antenna component 50, and when a preset included angle A is formed between the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20, the first antenna component 40 and the second antenna component 50 can generate elliptical polarized waves; compared with an antenna assembly generating linear polarized waves, the antenna assembly can reduce signal receiving loss and further improve communication quality of the folding terminal equipment.
It is noted that, since the signals generally transmitted by the satellites are circularly polarized waves, the folded terminal device provided in this embodiment can generate elliptical polarized waves, so that communication with the satellites can be achieved; and signal loss with the satellite can be reduced by generating an elliptically polarized wave. Further, when the elliptical polarized wave generated by the folding terminal device is a circular polarized wave, the signal loss between the folding terminal device and the satellite can be further reduced, and the communication quality is improved.
In this embodiment, the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 may be antennas for implementing a call, such as a 5G antenna (fifth generation mobile communication 5G); of course, the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 may also be GPS antennas (global positioning system global positioning system is abbreviated as GPS) for positioning, or wifi antennas (wireless fidelity is abbreviated as wifi) for transmitting data, so as to improve NC performance (non-cellular NC). Illustratively, when the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 operate in the satellite frequency band, communication with the satellite may occur; when the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 work in the GPS or Beidou frequency band, positioning can be performed, and positioning accuracy can be improved at the moment; when the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 operate in the wifi frequency band, data transmission can be achieved, and at this time, the strength of signals can be improved, and the operating frequency bands of the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 are not limited in this embodiment.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 may be frame antennas. In implementations in which the first folding assembly 10 includes a first middle frame 101 and the second folding assembly 20 includes a second middle frame 201, the first middle frame 101 may have a first fixed bezel 102 connected to the first hinge mechanism 30, and a first mounting bezel 103 adjacent to the first fixed bezel 102; that is, when the first middle frame 101 is a rectangular frame, the first fixing frame 102 and the first mounting frame 103 are frames perpendicular to each other and adjacent to each other. Similarly, the second middle frame 201 has a second fixed frame 202 connected to the hinge mechanism 30, and a second mounting frame 203 adjacent to the second fixed frame 202; that is, when the second middle frame 201 is a rectangular frame, the second fixing frame 202 and the second mounting frame 203 are frames perpendicular to each other and adjacent to each other.
After the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20 are connected by the hinge mechanism 30, the first mounting frame 103 and the second mounting frame 203 are adjacent to each other; that is, the first mounting frame 103 and the second mounting frame 203 are two frames near the left side in the orientation shown in fig. 5, however, in some embodiments, the first mounting frame 103 and the second mounting frame 203 may be two frames near the right side in the orientation shown in fig. 5.
In the above implementation manner, the first mounting frame 103 may include the first conductive frame section 104, and the first antenna component 40 and the first mounting frame 103 share the first conductive frame section 104, that is, the first antenna component 40 implements signal receiving and transmitting through the first conductive frame section 104 to form the frame antenna. Similarly, the second mounting frame 203 may include a second conductive frame segment 204, and the second antenna assembly 50 and the second mounting frame 203 share the second conductive frame segment 204, that is, the second antenna assembly 50 receives and transmits signals through the second conductive frame segment 204 to form a frame antenna. Through the arrangement, the signal transmission and the signal reception are realized through the conductive parts in the first middle frame 101 and the second middle frame 201, and an antenna component is not required to be additionally arranged, so that the structural compactness of the folding terminal equipment is improved, and the volume of the folding terminal equipment is further reduced.
In the implementation manner that the first middle frame 101 is a rectangular frame, the first middle frame 101 further includes a third fixed frame 105 disposed opposite to the first fixed frame 102, and a third installation frame 106 opposite to the first installation frame 103 (in fig. 5, the first installation frame 103 is located at the left side of the illustrated orientation, however, in other implementation manners, the first installation frame 103 may also be located at the right side of the illustrated orientation); the first fixing frame 102, the third fixing frame 105 and the third mounting frame 106 may be metal frames, so that the strength of the first middle frame 101 may be improved. Notably, to facilitate the outward signaling of the first conductive frame section 104, a gap 107 may be provided between the first conductive frame section 104 and the third fixed frame 105; further, an insulating connector may be filled in the gap 107 to connect the first conductive frame section 104 with the first fixed frame 102 and the third fixed frame 105 on the premise that a signal may be transmitted through the gap 107.
Similarly, the second middle frame 201 further includes a fourth fixed frame 205 disposed opposite the second fixed frame 202, and a fourth mounting frame 206 opposite the second mounting frame 203 (in fig. 5, the second mounting frame 203 is shown to the left in the illustrated orientation, although in other implementations, the second mounting frame 203 may be shown to the right in the illustrated orientation); the second fixing frame 202, the fourth fixing frame 205, and the fourth mounting frame 206 may be metal frames, so that the strength of the second middle frame 201 may be improved. Notably, to facilitate the outward signaling of the second conductive frame segment 204, a gap 107 may be provided between the second conductive frame segment 204 and the fourth fixed frame 205; further, an insulating connector may be filled in the slot 107 to connect the second conductive frame segment 204 with the second fixed frame 202 and the fourth fixed frame 205 on the premise that a signal may be transmitted through the slot 107.
With continued reference to fig. 5 and 6, in the above-described implementations, the first conductive frame segment 104 may be located proximate to the first fixed bezel 102, that is, the first conductive frame segment 104 may be a location in the first mounting bezel 103 that abuts the first fixed bezel 102. So set up, when having the contained angle A of predetermineeing between first folding subassembly 10 and the second folding subassembly 20, can reduce the distance between first antenna module 40 and the second antenna module 50, increase the vector of the electric field of first antenna module 40 and second antenna module 50 and close, increase signal strength, and then improve signal quality.
Similarly, the second conductive frame segment 204 may also be located near the second mounting frame 203 near the second fixing frame 202, that is, the second conductive frame segment 204 may be located adjacent to the second fixing frame 202 in the second mounting frame 203. So set up, when having the contained angle A of predetermineeing between first folding subassembly 10 and the second folding subassembly 20, can further reduce the distance between first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50, further increase the vector of the electric field of first antenna assembly 40 and second antenna assembly 50 and close, increase signal strength, further improve signal quality.
Referring to fig. 6 and 7, of course, in the present embodiment, the first conductive frame section 104 may be located at a position of the first mounting frame 103 away from the first fixing frame 102, that is, the first conductive frame section 104 is a portion of the first mounting frame 103 away from the first fixing frame 102. So set up, the preset contained angle a between first folding subassembly 10 and second folding subassembly 20 is 180, and the distance between first antenna assembly 40 and second antenna assembly 50 can be increased in the state that folding terminal equipment is in the complete expansion, and at this moment, folding terminal equipment produces the linear polarized wave, and first antenna assembly 40 and second antenna assembly 50 can work simultaneously, have reduced the interference between first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50.
Similarly, the second conductive frame segment 204 may also be located at a position of the second mounting frame 203 away from the second fixing frame 202, that is, the second conductive frame segment 204 is a portion of the second mounting frame 203 away from the second fixing frame 202. So set up, the preset contained angle a between first folding subassembly 10 and second folding subassembly 20 is 180, and the distance between first antenna assembly 40 and second antenna assembly 50 can be further increased under the state that folding terminal equipment is in the complete expansion, and at this moment, folding terminal equipment produces the linear polarized wave, and first antenna assembly 40 and second antenna assembly 50 can work simultaneously, have further reduced the interference between first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50.
In some implementations, the first conductive frame segment 104 may be located where the first mounting bezel 103 is proximate to the first fixed bezel 102 while the second conductive frame segment 204 is located where the second mounting bezel 203 is distal to the second fixed bezel 202. Alternatively, the first conductive frame section 104 is located at a position of the first mounting frame 103 away from the first fixed frame 102, while the second conductive frame section 204 is located at a position of the second mounting frame 203 near the second fixed frame 202. The present embodiment does not limit the positions of the first conductive frame section 104 and the second conductive frame section 204.
In the implementation manner that the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 are both frame antennas, the first antenna assembly 40 is located on the first installation frame 103, the second antenna assembly 50 is located on the second installation frame 203, at this time, the propagation direction of the elliptical polarized wave generated by the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 is parallel to the axis of the hinge mechanism 30, that is, the Y direction, so that the signal shielding by the human body can be avoided, and the communication quality is improved. In addition, when the axis of the hinge mechanism 30 is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal plane and the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 are close to the top end of the folder-type terminal device, the propagation direction is directed to the sky, that is, the hemispherical ratio on the radiation pattern is high, the communication quality, especially the communication quality with high altitude devices such as satellites, can be further improved.
Referring to fig. 8, the antenna assembly shown in fig. 8 is applied to a non-folding terminal device, and includes a monopole antenna (monopole) 112 and an inverted-F antenna (IFA) 113 disposed on the same side of a circuit board 111, where the monopole antenna 112 and the inverted-F antenna 113 are both used for generating linearly polarized waves, and a short circuit structure 1131 and a feeding structure 1132 are disposed on the inverted-F antenna 113. Monopole antenna 112 is orthogonal to inverted-F antenna 113 to generate a circularly polarized wave. The propagation direction of the circularly polarized wave of the antenna assembly is perpendicular to the circuit board 111 (i.e. Z direction), but the circuit board 111 of the non-folding terminal device is generally parallel to the display panel, so that in the use process, the human body can shield signals, thereby affecting the communication quality. In contrast, in the folding terminal device provided in this embodiment, the propagation direction of the elliptically polarized waves generated by the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 is parallel to the axis of the hinge mechanism 30, that is, parallel to the flexible display panel, so that signals can be prevented from being blocked by a human body, and communication quality is improved.
Referring to fig. 9, the antenna assembly shown in fig. 9 is also applied to a non-folding terminal device, and includes a metal floor 114, a dielectric substrate 115, and a metal patch 116 that are sequentially stacked, wherein a floor cylindrical hole 1141 is provided on the metal floor 114, a substrate cylindrical hole 1151 is provided on the dielectric substrate 115, and a U-shaped slot 1161 is provided on the metal patch 116; by means of which circularly polarized waves can be generated. However, the direction of the circularly polarized wave propagation of the antenna assembly is perpendicular to the metal floor 114 (i.e. Z direction), but the metal floor 114 of the non-folder type terminal device is generally parallel to the display panel, so that the human body can shade signals during use, thereby affecting the communication quality. In contrast, in the folding terminal device provided in this embodiment, the propagation direction of the elliptically polarized waves generated by the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 is parallel to the axis of the hinge mechanism 30, that is, parallel to the flexible display panel, so that signals can be prevented from being blocked by a human body, and communication quality is improved.
In this embodiment, the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 are not limited to the frame antenna, and the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 may be monopole antennas, inverted-F antennas, left-hand antennas, LDS antennas (laser direct structuring laser direct structuring abbreviated as LDS), and the like.
As shown in fig. 10, the first antenna assembly 40 may be located in a first area surrounded by the first middle frame 101, and the second antenna assembly 50 is located in a second area surrounded by the second middle frame 201; so configured, the first midframe 101 may protect the first antenna assembly 40 and the same second midframe 201 may protect the second antenna assembly 50.
In the implementation where the first folding assembly 10 includes a circuit board disposed on the first middle frame 101, a bracket is disposed on the circuit board, and the bracket is connected to the first middle frame 101 through a screw, and accordingly, the first antenna assembly 40 may be disposed on the corresponding bracket; similarly, in the implementation where the second folding assembly 20 includes a circuit disposed on the second middle frame 201, a bracket is disposed on the circuit board, and the bracket is connected to the second middle frame 201 through a screw, and accordingly, the second antenna assembly 50 may be disposed on the corresponding bracket. The first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 may be formed on the corresponding circuit boards by etching, plating, or the like, but of course, the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 may also be formed directly on the corresponding circuit boards by laser direct structuring.
In some implementations, a battery may be disposed on the first middle frame 101, and a battery cover may be correspondingly covered on the battery, where the first antenna assembly 40 may be directly formed on the battery cover.
In this embodiment, the structures and the setting positions of the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 are not limited, so long as the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 can generate elliptical polarized waves when the first folding assembly 10 and the second folding assembly 20 have the preset included angle a, so as to reduce the receiving loss of the circular polarized signals by the folding terminal device and further improve the communication quality.
Referring to fig. 11 and 12, the display surface of the foldable terminal device provided in this embodiment is a rectangular display surface, and the display surface is a plane where the flexible display panel 70 is located in an unfolded state, that is, the foldable terminal device is in a rectangular sheet shape, and the axis of the hinge mechanism 30 may be parallel to the long side of the rectangular display surface, that is, the axis of rotation of the first folding assembly 10 relative to the second folding assembly 20 is parallel to the long side of the rectangular display surface (taking the orientation shown in fig. 11 as an example, the folding manner of the foldable terminal device is left-right folding). Alternatively, the axis of the hinge mechanism 30 is perpendicular to the long side of the rectangle, that is, the axis of rotation of the first folding assembly 10 relative to the second folding assembly 20 is perpendicular to the long side of the rectangle (taking the orientation shown in fig. 12 as an example, the folding manner of the folding terminal device is folding up and down).
The first middle frame 101 is a rectangular frame, and the first middle frame 101 includes a first fixed frame 102, a third fixed frame 105 disposed opposite to the first fixed frame 102, and a first mounting frame 103 and a third mounting frame 106 disposed between the first fixed frame 102 and the third fixed frame 105, and the first fixed frame 102 is configured to be connected to the hinge mechanism 30. Similarly, the second middle frame 201 is a rectangular frame, and the second middle frame 201 includes a second fixed frame 202, a fourth fixed frame 205 disposed opposite to the second fixed frame 202, and a second mounting frame 203 and a fourth mounting frame 206 disposed between the second fixed frame 202 and the fourth fixed frame 205, where the second fixed frame 202 is used to connect with the hinge mechanism 30. When in the unfolded state, the first middle frame 101 and the second middle frame 201 form a rectangular structure; as shown in fig. 11, the lengths of the first mounting frame 103 and the second mounting frame 203 are smaller than those of the first fixing frame 102 and the second fixing frame 202, and the axis of the hinge mechanism 30 is parallel to the long side of the folding terminal device; as shown in fig. 12, the length sum of the first mounting frame 103 and the second mounting frame 203 is greater than the length sum of the first fixing frame 102 and the second fixing frame 202, and the axis of the hinge mechanism 30 is perpendicular to the long side of the folder-type terminal device.
The feeding manner of the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 is not limited in this embodiment, as long as the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 can generate elliptical polarized waves when a predetermined included angle a is formed between the first folding assembly 10 and the second folding assembly 20; by way of example, the feeding of the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 may have the following scenarios:
scene one
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 13, the folding terminal device further includes a phase adjusting device 90, where the feeding end of the first antenna assembly 40 and the feeding end of the second antenna assembly 50 are both connected to the phase adjusting device 90, and the phase adjusting device 90 is configured to respond to a preset included angle a between the first folding assembly 10 and the second folding assembly 20, so that a preset phase difference exists between an electric field of the first antenna assembly 40 and an electric field of the second antenna assembly 50.
Wherein the phase adjustment device 90 may include a first phase shifter 901 and a second phase shifter 902, the first phase shifter 901 being connected to the first antenna assembly 40, the second phase shifter 902 being connected to the second antenna assembly 50; accordingly, the first phase shifter 901 may be disposed on the first folding assembly 10, and the second phase shifter 902 may be disposed on the second folding assembly 20. The first phase shifter 901 feeds the first antenna assembly 40, and the second phase shifter 902 feeds the second antenna assembly 50, so that a preset phase difference exists between the electric field of the first antenna assembly 40 and the electric field of the second antenna assembly 50, and the structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient.
Since the phase of the phase shifter is convenient to adjust, when the preset included angle a between the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20 is any included angle other than 0 °, the phase difference between the first antenna component 40 and the second antenna component 50 can be adjusted by the first phase shifter 901 and the second phase shifter 902, so that the first antenna component 40 and the second antenna component 50 generate an elliptically polarized wave. In addition, the phase difference between the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 may be adjusted by the first phase shifter 901 and the second phase shifter 902, so as to change the rotation direction of the elliptically polarized wave generated by the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50, for example: the left-hand elliptical polarized wave is changed into the right-hand elliptical polarized wave, or the right-hand elliptical polarized wave is changed into the left-hand elliptical polarized wave. Compared with the antenna assembly shown in fig. 8 and 9 and other antennas generating linear polarized waves, the rotation direction of the elliptical polarized waves can be adjusted according to external equipment, so that the universality is improved, and the user experience is improved. It will be appreciated that by adjusting the phase difference between the first antenna element 40 and the second antenna element 50 by the first phase shifter 901 and the second phase shifter 902, the axial ratio of the ellipse (i.e., the ratio of the major axis to the minor axis of the ellipse) of the elliptically polarized wave on the projection plane perpendicular to the propagation direction can be changed, thereby adjusting the shape of the elliptically polarized wave.
Referring to fig. 14, in other implementations, the phase adjustment device may include a transmission line 60, a first end of the transmission line 60 is connected to the feeding end of the first antenna assembly 40, a second end of the transmission line 60 is connected to the feeding end of the second antenna assembly 50, and a feeding point 601 is located between the first end and the second end of the transmission line 60; the antenna circuit on the folding terminal device may feed the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 through the feeding point 601. The feeding point 601 and the first antenna assembly 40 have a preset distance therebetween, and the preset distance is reasonably set according to the operating frequencies of the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50, so that a preset phase difference is formed between the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50. Illustratively, the transmission line 60 may include a microstrip line, a stripline, a coplanar waveguide, or the like.
Referring to fig. 15, in some implementations, the feeding points 601 may be multiple and the feeding points 601 may be spaced from each other along the first end to the second end of the transmission line 60. Thus, each feeding point 601 may correspond to a predetermined angle a, and the phase differences of the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 corresponding to each feeding point 601 are different, so that a plurality of different predetermined angles a have corresponding phase differences. When the preset included angle a between the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20 is different, the appropriate feeding point 601 can be selected to feed, so that elliptical polarized waves can be generated when the preset included angle a between the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20 is different. It will be appreciated that the greater the frequency of the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50, the greater the phase difference change corresponding to the two feed points 601, with the same difference between the two feed points 601 from the first end.
It should be noted that, by selecting different feeding points 601 to feed the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50, the handedness of the elliptically polarized waves generated by the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 may also be changed, for example: the first antenna element 40 may be fed through a feed point 601 near the first end, the electric field phase of the first antenna element 40 leading the electric field phase of the second antenna element 50, at which time the electric field phase is changed from a left-hand elliptical polarized wave to a right-hand elliptical polarized wave; in addition, the first antenna element 40 may be fed through the feeding point 601 near the second end, and the electric field phase of the first antenna element 40 is behind the electric field phase of the second antenna element 50, at this time, changed from right-hand elliptical polarized wave to left-hand elliptical polarized wave. Compared with the antenna assembly shown in fig. 8 and 9 and other antennas generating linearly polarized waves, the versatility is improved, and the user experience is improved.
In the above scenario, the preset included angle a may be 60 ° -120 °, where the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 generate an elliptical polarized wave, so that the included angle between the first folding assembly 10 and the second folding assembly 20 is not too large while improving the communication quality of the folding terminal device, so that the user can conveniently view the flexible display panel 70 covered on the first folding assembly 10 and the second folding assembly 20, and user experience can be further improved.
Of course, the preset angle may be 90 °, in which case the electric fields of the first antenna element 40 and the second antenna element 50 are perpendicular, and the phase adjustment device responds to the preset angle a to make the preset phase difference 90 °. At this time, the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 generate circularly polarized waves to further reduce signal loss with external devices such as satellites and communication base stations, and further improve communication quality.
Of course, in the above application scenario, the predetermined angle a may be other angles (such as 85 ° and 100 °), which is not limited in this embodiment.
Scene two
Referring to fig. 16, the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 may be connected by a conductive structure 80, that is, the end of the first antenna assembly 40 away from the feeding end is connected to the feeding end of the second antenna assembly 50 by the conductive structure; only the feed end of the first antenna assembly 40 needs to be fed to the second antenna assembly 50 via the conductive structure 80. The second antenna element 50 has a predetermined position along the current flowing direction, and the electric field at the predetermined position has a predetermined phase difference with the electric field at the feeding end of the first antenna element 40, so that the first antenna element 40 and the second antenna element 50 form an elliptically polarized wave when a predetermined angle is formed between the first folded element 10 and the second folded element 20.
For example, when the preset angle is 90 °, the first antenna assembly 40 transmits a signal to the second antenna assembly 50 through the conductive structure 80, and the second antenna assembly 50 has a position thereon, where the electric field at the position has a phase difference of 90 ° with the electric field of the first antenna assembly 40, so as to ensure that the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 can generate circularly polarized waves, and the position is the preset position. When the predetermined angle is other angles, the second antenna assembly 50 has a position, and a certain phase difference exists between the electric field at the position and the electric field of the first antenna assembly 40, so that the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 can generate an elliptical polarized wave, and the position is the predetermined position.
The specific structure of the conductive structure 80 in this scenario is not limited as long as the connection between the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 can be achieved. As illustrated in fig. 17 and 18, the conductive structure 80 may include a hinge mechanism 30, and the connection between the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 is achieved through the hinge mechanism 30 without providing the conductive structure 80, thereby simplifying the structure of the folder-type terminal device and improving the structural compactness of the folder-type terminal device.
Specifically, the hinge mechanism 30 may include a first rotating arm 301 connected to the first folding assembly 10, and a second rotating arm 302 connected to the second folding assembly 20, with a rotatable connection between a rotating end of the first rotating arm 301 and a rotating end of the second rotating arm 302, such that the first folding assembly 10 may rotate relative to the second folding assembly 20. Wherein, the first rotating arm 301 and the second rotating arm 302 are conductive arms, the first antenna assembly 40 is connected with the first rotating arm 301, and the second antenna assembly 50 is connected with the second rotating arm 302; this allows electrical connection between the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50. Illustratively, the materials of the first and second rotating arms 301 and 302 may include metals such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel, and the like.
In the above-described implementation manner, the rotating end of the first rotating arm 301 may be hinged with the rotating end of the second rotating arm 302 through a hinge shaft, so as to achieve rotatable connection between the first rotating arm 301 and the second rotating arm 302; it should be noted that the hinge shaft needs to be a metal shaft, so that the first rotating arm 301 and the second rotating arm 302 are electrically connected through the hinge shaft.
In other implementations, a first gear may be disposed at the rotating end of the first rotating arm 301, and a second gear may be disposed at the rotating end of the second rotating arm 302, where the first gear is meshed with the second gear, and also may implement a rotational connection between the first rotating arm 301 and the second rotating arm 302; so arranged, the first rotating arm 301 drives the second rotating arm 302 to synchronously rotate while rotating, so that the folding terminal device can be folded quickly. It should be noted that, the first gear and the second gear are required to be made of copper, aluminum, stainless steel, or other metals, so that the first rotating arm 301 and the second rotating arm 302 are electrically connected through the first gear and the second gear.
Of course, in this scenario, the conductive structure 80 may also include conductive wires, flexible circuit boards, etc., so long as an electrical connection between the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 is enabled.
Scene three
Referring to fig. 19, a predetermined radiation distance L is provided between the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50, so that the first antenna assembly 40 can couple electromagnetic signals to the second antenna assembly 50; by this arrangement, the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 are wirelessly connected, so that the structure of the folder-type terminal device can be further simplified, and the structural compactness of the folder-type terminal device can be improved.
When the first antenna assembly 40 is fed, the second antenna assembly 50 has a predetermined position thereon, and the electric field at the predetermined position has a predetermined phase difference from the electric field at the feeding end of the first antenna assembly 40, so that the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 can generate elliptically polarized waves.
For example, when the preset angle is 90 °, the first antenna assembly 40 couples an electrical signal to the second antenna assembly 50, and the second antenna assembly 50 has a position thereon, where the electric field at the position has a phase difference of 90 ° with the electric field of the first antenna assembly 40, so as to ensure that the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 can generate circularly polarized waves; the position is a preset position. When the preset included angle is other angles, the second antenna assembly 50 is provided with a position, and a certain phase difference exists between the electric field at the position and the electric field of the first antenna assembly 40, so that the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 can generate elliptical polarized waves; the position is a preset position.
In this scenario, the transmission of the first antenna assembly 40 may be a standing wave, and correspondingly, the electromagnetic signal coupled to the second antenna assembly 50 is a traveling wave. When the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 are frame antennas, the first fixed frame 102 and the third fixed frame 105 do not influence the first conductive frame section 104, so that a gap 107 is not required to be arranged between the first conductive frame section 104 and the first fixed frame 102 and the third fixed frame 105, and the structural strength of the first middle frame 101 is improved; similarly, the second fixing frame 202 and the fourth fixing frame 205 do not affect the second conductive frame section 204, so that a gap 107 is not required between the second conductive frame section 204 and the second fixing frame 202 and the fourth fixing frame 205, and the structural strength of the second middle frame 201 is improved.
The folding terminal device provided in this embodiment may have the following application scenarios:
application scenario one
Referring to fig. 20, the preset included angle between the first folding assembly 10 and the second folding assembly 20 is 180 °, and the first folding assembly 10 and the second folding assembly 20 are located in the same plane, i.e. the folding terminal device is in an unfolded state. In this state, the distance between the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 is long, and signals can be received and transmitted through the first antenna assembly 40 and/or the second antenna assembly 50, and in this state, the folder-type terminal device generates a linearly polarized wave, and can receive a linearly polarized wave or a partially circularly polarized wave matched with the linearly polarized wave. By way of example, signals from external devices such as satellites, communication base stations, etc. may be received to some extent.
Application scene two
With continued reference to fig. 1, the preset included angle between the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20 is 90 °, where the phase difference between the first antenna component 40 and the second antenna component 50 is 90 °, the elliptical polarized wave generated by the first antenna component 40 and the second antenna component 50 is a circular polarized wave, and where the folding terminal device can communicate with an external device that sends the circular polarized wave, such as a satellite, a communication base station, or the like; compared with the linear polarized wave generated by the antenna component, the loss of the received signal can be avoided, and the communication quality is improved; so that video, conversation, etc. can be viewed in this scene. In addition, when the folding terminal device is an inward folding terminal device, the space between the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20 is 90 degrees, the flexible display panel 70 covered on the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20 is bent to be 90 degrees, so that a user can watch the content displayed on the flexible display panel 70, and user experience is improved.
Application scenario three
Referring to fig. 21, the preset angle between the first folding assembly 10 and the second folding assembly 20 is 120 °, at this time, the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 generate an elliptical polarized wave, and the folding terminal device can communicate with external devices such as satellites and communication base stations that transmit the circular polarized wave. When the folding terminal equipment is the inward folding terminal equipment, 120 degrees are arranged between the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20, and the flexible display panel 70 covered on the first folding component 10 and the second folding component 20 is bent to be 120 degrees, so that the comfort of a user when watching the flexible display panel 70 is improved, and the operations such as watching a video are facilitated; in addition, the user experience may be further enhanced by typing through a portion of the flexible display panel 70 on the first folding assembly 10 and displaying through a portion of the flexible display panel 70 on the second folding assembly 20.
Application scene four
With continued reference to fig. 2 and 3, the preset included angle between the first folding assembly 10 and the second folding assembly 20 is 0 °, and accordingly, the folding terminal device is in a folded state, that is, the first folding assembly 10 and the second folding assembly 20 are folded together; at this time, the distance between the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 is relatively short, and the folded terminal device performs signal transmission and structure through the first antenna assembly 40 or the second antenna assembly 50, so that interference between the first antenna assembly 40 and the second antenna assembly 50 can be avoided. In this scenario, the folder-type terminal device generates a linearly polarized wave, and can receive a linearly polarized wave or a partially circularly polarized wave matched thereto.
