本申请实施例涉及终端技术领域,特别涉及一种电子设备。
背景技术
随着通信技术的不断发展,手机和电脑等电子设备的无线性能受到越来越多的关注,因而,天线技术在电子设备上的应用愈加广泛,需求也越来越高。
以电子设备为手机为例,一般在手机上的不同空间位置设计有不同的天线结构,具体地,可以根据实际场景需求,通过在手机空间内不同位置布局不同的谐振天线,以满足不同场景下的天线需求。相关技术中,电子设备内可以形成有腔体天线。具体地,电子设备中,印制电路板(Printed Circuit Board,PCB)的上方设置有散热器,PCB板的上方靠近散热器的内部设置有射频耦合探针,散热器的表面设置有平面,而且,散热器的内部靠近射频耦合探针的上方设置有水平部分,平面的内部设置有曲线回形槽,采用电容耦合的方式,将散热器转变为天线的一个辐射部分,并通过耦合缝隙实现双频段谐振,使得辐射和散热结合为一体,不仅满足了天线的性能要求,也解决了电子设备的散热。
然而,上述设计方案中,天线结构在电子设备中的占用空间较大,容易影响其它器件在电子设备内的布局。

在一种可能的实现方式中,所述横向枝节在所述电路板的厚度方向上高于所述第一金属结构件。通过将横向枝节在所述电路板的厚度方向上的高度设计为高于第一金属结构件在所述电路板的厚度方向上的高度,能够第二金属结构件能够在第一金属结构件进行散热的基础上起到进一步散热的效果。
在一种可能的实现方式中,所述第二横向枝节的长度大于所述第一横向枝节的长度。通过将第二横向枝节的长度设计大于第一横向枝节的长度,能够使得第一横向枝节和第二横向枝节所对应的频率不相同,以覆盖天线的不同频段,从而能够激发天线的更多性能。应可理解,第一横向枝节和第二横向枝节的长度可以看做是在所述电路板的正投影的长度。

具体实施方式
本申请的实施方式部分使用的术语仅用于对本申请的具体实施例进行解释,而非旨在限定本申请,下面将结合附图对本申请实施例的实施方式进行详细描述。
本申请实施例提供一种电子设备,可以包括但不限于为智能音箱、智能门锁、手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、路由器、客户前置设备(Customer Premise Equipment,CPE)、物联网(The Internet of Things,IOT)设备、超级移动个人计算机(ultra-mobile personal computer,UMPC)、手持计算机、对讲机、上网本、销售点(Point of sales,POS)机、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、可穿戴设备、虚拟现实设备、无线U盘、蓝牙音响/耳机、或车载前装、行车记录仪、安防设备等具有天线的移动或固定终端。
其中,本申请实施例中,以CPE为上述电子设备为例进行说明。
随着5G移动通信技术的普及,CPE等终端产品的规格逐渐增加。例如,为了进一步的增加CPE的可实现功能,CPE内置天线的数量大幅度增加,但同时受限于整机尺寸的限制,产品整体布局越来越紧凑,天线间的相互影响越来越大,天线性能随之恶化。与此同时,由于规格的提高,产品功耗显著增大,为解决发热问题,散热器体积随之增大,天线空间进一步压缩。而无论是天线数量的增多,还是散热器体积的增大,都会导致成本的增加。高规格小尺寸下天线性能的损失与成本的提升是当前产品兹待解决的痛点问题之一。
具体地,相关技术中,CPE中,印制电路板(Printed Circuit Board,PCB)的上方设置有散热器,PCB板的上方靠近散热器的部位设置有射频耦合探针,散热器的表面设置有平面,而且,散热器的内部靠近射频耦合探针的上方设置有水平部分,平面的内部设置有曲线回形槽,采用电容耦合的方式,将散热器转变为天线的一个辐射部分,并通过耦合缝隙实现双频段谐振。但是,该方案中,天线结构在CPE中的占用空间较大,容易影响其它器件在CPE内的布局。
基于此,本申请实施例提供一种电子设备,该电子设备例如可以为CPE等,该电子设备中,通过在电路板的外边缘设有至少一个朝向电路板内的净空区域,并在电路板的净空区域处设置有天线,天线的一端与电路板上的馈电点电连接,天线的另一端悬空在净空区域处,另外,在第一金属结构件的外周设置有至少一个第二金属结构件,每个第二金属结构件的一端与第一金属结构件的外边缘电连接,每个第二金属结构件的另一端与天线在电路板的厚度方向上具有耦合间隙,以使得天线上的耦合到第二金属结构件上,这样,相比于现有技术中在电子设备内设计独立的天线结构,本申请实施例利用电路板上的空间设计天线,天线与第二金属结构件之间通过耦合产生辐射,能够减小天线结构在电子设备中的占用空间,进而能够避免对其它器件在电子设备内的布局造成干涉或者影响。
需要说明的是,本申请提供的天线适用于采用以下一种或多种MIMO(Multi-in Multi-out,多进多 出)通信技术的电子设备:例如,长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)通信技术、Wi-Fi通信技术、5G通信技术、SUB-6G通信技术以及未来其他MIMO通信技术等。MIMO通信技术指的是在发送端和接收端都使用多根天线,在收发之间构成多个信道的天线系统,具有极高的频谱利用效率。
可以理解的是,本申请实施例示意的结构并不构成对CPE的具体限定。在本申请另一些实施例中,CPE可以包括更多或更少的部件,或者组合某些部件,或者拆分某些部件,或者不同的部件布置。
下面分别以不同的实施例为例,并结合附图对该电子设备的具体结构进行介绍(以下各实施例不突出通信网络的需求,仅以频率大小说明天线的工作特性)。
参照图1和图2A所示,本申请实施例提供一种电子设备100,该电子设备100例如可以为CPE、音箱、手机或者电脑等,具体地,参照图1和图2A所示,该电子设备100至少可以包括:电路板110以及第一金属结构件120,其中,第一金属结构件120与电路板110层叠且间隔设置,电路板110的外边缘设有至少一个净空区域111,且净空区域111朝向电路板110向内凹陷。
可以理解的是,净空区域111为电路板110上的非金属区域。在一个实施例中,净空区域111也可以称为镂空区域。
该电子设备100还可以包括:第一辐射体131,其中,第一辐射体131可以位于净空区域111处,而且,第一辐射体131的一端与电路板110上的第一馈电点112(参见图7所示)电连接,第一辐射体131的另一端悬空在净空区域111处。
可以理解的是,“悬空”为不与其它导电结构连接的意思,即第一辐射体131的另一端与电子设备100内的其它导电结构之间无任意直接电连接关系。
可以理解的是,净空区域111可以作为净空区域,第一辐射体131可以为印制图案(pattern)、走线、导电片或者导电条等,本申请实施例对此并不加以限定。
而且,在一种可能的实现方式中,参见图2C所示,净空区域111内还可以设置有支撑板111a。在一个实施例中,支撑板111a的一侧与电路板110相连,支撑板111a的另一侧与第一辐射体131以及第二辐射体132相连。在一个实施例中,支撑板111a与电路板110为同一块基板形成。支撑板111a用于支撑第一辐射体131以及第二辐射体132,避免第一辐射体131以及第二辐射体132相对于净空区域111发生脱离。其中,支撑板111a可以为绝缘材料。
另外,参见图3所示,该电子设备100还可以包括:第二金属结构件140,第二金属结构件140可以位于第一金属结构件120的外周,且第二金属结构件140朝向电路板110的正投影的至少部分可以位于净空区域111处,每个第二金属结构件140的一端与第一金属结构件120电连接,每个第二金属结构件140的另一端与第一辐射体131在电路板的厚度方向L1上具有第一耦合间隙151,以使得第一辐射体131上的耦合到第二金属结构件140上。
这样,相比于现有技术中在电子设备100内设计独立的天线结构,本申请实施例利用电路板110上的空间设计天线,天线(例如第一辐射体131)与第二金属结构件140之间通过耦合产生辐射,能够减小天线结构在电子设备100中的占用空间,进而能够避免对其它器件在电子设备100内的布局造成干涉或者影响。也就是说,第二金属结构件140与第一辐射体131之间在保证方向图全向覆盖的前提下,能够实现小型化的宽带覆盖,即本申请实施例能够在小尺寸以及高散热能力下实现对电子设备100的高辐射性能。
在本申请实施例中,第一金属结构件120和第二金属结构件140可以为散热器,电子元器件可以为发热元器件,电子元器件与第一金属结构件120朝向电路板110的一面相互接触,此时,第一金属结构件120能够为电子元器件提供良好散热的效果。当然,在其它的一些实施例中,第一金属结构件120和第二金属结构件140还可以为金属外壳等金属结构,本申请实施例对此并不加以限定。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,第一金属结构件120为散热器时,第一金属结构件120例如可以为平板散热器,平板散热器所采用的材质可以为铝。
通过将散热器作为第一金属结构件120和第二金属结构件140,能够利用散热器的结构形成天线,第二金属结构件140同时提供辐射和散热的双重功能,将散热器转变为天线的一个辐射部分,使得辐射和散热结合为一体,不仅满足了天线的性能要求,散热器能够给对发热元器件进行散热,也解决了电子设备100的散热问题,从而能够在一定程度上起到节约天线成本的作用。
在一定程度上,该天线可以在有限的设计空间内实现,有效节省了电子设备100内部的天线设计空 间。以电子设备100为CPE为例,本申请实施例通过利用CPE内部空间形成天线,能够在很大程度上节省在CPE内设计天线的空间,同时还能够在一定程度上起到节约制作天线成本的作用。
另外,相比于现有技术中需要在散热器上进行开槽实现双频段谐振,本申请实施例所提供的天线无需在散热器上额外开槽,因而形成天线时无需需要破坏散热器其本身的结构,进而不会影响散热器的散热性能。
可以理解的是,在本申请实施例中,如图4或图5所示,第一金属结构件120朝向电路板110上的正投影可以与净空区域111相互错开。通过将电路板110上的净空区域111位置设计为与第一金属结构件120在电路板110上的正投影相对错开设置,能够避免净空区域111处的天线与第一金属结构件120之间形成天线。
另外,第一金属结构件120在电路板110上的正投影的外边缘与净空区域111之间的距离可以小于或者等于10mm。通过限定电路板110上的净空区域111与第一金属结构件120在电路板110上的正投影之间的距离,能够避免电路板110上的净空区域111与第一金属结构件120在电路板110上的正投影之间的距离过大,对电路板110上的空间造成损失或浪费,进而能够避免对电子设备100内的空间造成损失和浪费。
需要说明的是,第一金属结构件120在电路板110上的正投影的外边缘与净空区域111之间的距离可以为10mm、9mm、8mm、7mm、6mm、5mm、4mm、3mm、2mm、1mm或者任意相邻两个值的中间值,本申请实施例对此并不加以限定。
当然,第一金属结构件120在电路板110上的正投影的外边缘与净空区域111之间的距离具体可以根据实际应用场景的需求进行灵活设定,例如可以根据实际的天线形式和频率进行设定,本申请实施例对此并不加以限定。
如图4所示,在本申请实施例中,第二金属结构件140可以包括:在第一平面上延伸的纵向枝节141以及第一横向枝节142,其中,第一平面与电路板的厚度方向垂直。纵向枝节141在第一平面上延伸的一端与第一金属结构件120电连接,纵向枝节141在该第一平面上延伸的另一端与第一横向枝节142相连,第一横向枝节142可以与第一辐射体131在电路板的厚度方向L1上形成第一耦合间隙151。

在一个实施例中,第二横向枝节143在电路板的厚度方向上延伸。例如,在电路板的厚度方向上延伸一定的高度。
应可理解,在电路板的厚度方向上延伸,并不是指枝节的厚度方向与电路板的厚度方向完全一致,而是指,枝节的厚度方向与电路板的厚度方向在一定的锐角范围内,例如45度内。

通过将第二金属结构件140中横向枝节的数量设计为两个(即第一横向枝节142和第二横向枝节143),将电路板110的净空区域111处的天线数量也设计为两个(即第一辐射体131和第二辐射体132),在极小净空下即可实现宽带双天线共体设计。这样,第一横向枝节142能够与两个天线中的第一辐射体131在电路板的厚度方向L1上形成第一耦合间隙151,进而能够确保第一横向枝节142与第一辐射体131之间通过耦合产生辐射。第二横向枝节143能够与两个天线中的第二辐射体132在电路板的厚度方向L1上形成第二耦合间隙152,进而能够确保第二横向枝节143与第二辐射体132之间能够通过耦合产生辐射。

如图7所示,在本申请实施例中,第二横向枝节143的长度可以大于第一横向枝节142的长度。通过将第二横向枝节143的长度设计大于第一横向枝节142的长度,能够使得第一横向枝节142和第二横向枝节143所对应的频率不相同,以覆盖天线的不同频段,从而能够激发天线的更多性能。在一个实施例中,第一横向枝节142和第二横向枝节143的长度可以看作是在电路板上的正投影的长度。

隔挡枝节133与纵向枝节141可以在电路板的厚度方向L1上相对且具有间隙1332,纵向枝节141与隔挡枝节133之间通过导电结构160电连接。隔挡枝节与纵向枝节141之间通过导电结构160电连接,能够实现隔挡枝节与第二金属结构件140之间的电连接。
在本申请实施例中,导电结构160可以为导电泡棉,或者,导电结构160可以为导电胶,或者,导电结构160可以为金属弹片等其它导电器件。导电泡棉、导电胶和金属弹片均能起到电连接纵向枝节141与隔挡枝节133的作用。

其中,本申请实施例中,对图9中四个谐振点2.3GHz、3GHz、4.2GHz和4.95GHz处的工作模式进行仿真试验,例如,分别向第一馈电点馈入包含2.3GHz的频段、包含3GHz的频段、包含4.2GHz的频段和包含4.95GHz的频段的电流,然后观察各个辐射枝节上的电流分布,经仿真试验得出,在2.3GHz谐振点处,主要为第二辐射枝节1312产生的左手模式,第二辐射枝节1312的电长度可以为λ/8-λ/4。在3GHz谐振点处,主要为第一辐射枝节1311产生的λ/4基模模式,第一辐射枝节1311的电长度之为λ/4。在4.2GHz谐振点处,主要为第一辐射枝节1311和第二辐射枝节1312产生的三次模式,第一辐射枝节1311和第二辐射枝节1312的电长度之和为3λ/8-3λ/4。在4.95GHz谐振点处,主要为第一横向枝节142和纵向枝节141产生的λ/4基模模式,第一横向枝节142和纵向枝节141的电长度之和为λ/4,其中,λ为谐振频率的中心频点对应的波长,例如,本申请实施例中,谐振频率的中心频点为3GHz,因此,λ为3GHz。

其中,本申请实施例中,对图11中的谐振点1.8GHz、2.6GHz处的工作模式进行仿真试验,例如,分别向第二馈电点溃入1.8GHz、2.6GHz的电流,然后观察各个辐射枝节上的电流分布,经仿真试验得出,在1.8GHz谐振点处,主要为第二横向枝节143和纵向枝节141产生的左手模式,第二横向枝节143和纵向枝节141电长度之和可以为λ/8-λ/4。在2.6GHz谐振点处,主要为第三辐射枝节1321产生的λ/4基模模式,第三辐射枝节1321的电长度可以为λ/4。其中,λ为谐振频率的中心频点,例如图11中可以为λ可以为1.8GHz。
在上述实施例的基础上,可以理解的是,纵向枝节141在电路板的厚度方向L1上的高度可以小于等于λ/4,其中,λ可以为最小谐振频段的中心频点对应的波长。
在一些实施例中,纵向枝节141在电路板的厚度方向L1上的高度可以为0.5mm-22.5mm。利用纵向枝节141在电路板的厚度方向L1上的高度的设计自由度,能够便于调控天线的方向图。例如,图13中所示的纵向枝节141在电路板的厚度方向L1上的高度(即第一高度H3)大于图14中所示的纵向枝节141在电路板的厚度方向L1上的高度(即第二高度H4)。通过增加纵向枝节141在电路板的厚度方向L1上的高度,能够增加纵向枝节141对第一辐射体131和第二辐射体132之间的隔离度,进而能够减小第一辐射体131与第二辐射体132之间的相互干扰程度。
其中,在一些实施例中,纵向枝节141在电路板的厚度方向L1上的高度可以为0.5mm、2mm、4mm、6mm、8mm、10mm、12mm、14mm、16mm、18mm、20mm、22mm、22.5mm或者任意相邻两个值的中间值等,本申请实施例对此并不加以限定。

例如,在一些实施例中,净空区域111在第一方向L2上的宽度可以介于3mm-15mm之间,示例性地,净空区域111在第一方向L2上的宽度可以为3mm、4mm、5mm、6mm、7mm、8mm、9mm、10mm、11mm、12mm、13mm、14mm、15mm或者任意相邻两个值的中间值等,本申请实施例对此并不加以限定。
这里需要说明的是,本申请涉及的数值和数值范围为近似值,受制造工艺的影响,可能会存在一定范围的误差,这部分误差本领域技术人员可以认为忽略不计。
参见图20和图21所示,图21中净空区域111在第一方向L2上的宽度(即第二宽度D2)小于图20中净空区域111在第一方向L2上的宽度(即第一宽度D1),这样,在布局天线的空间足够的情况下,能够在一定程度上节省电路板110的使用面积,从而能够为电子设备100余留更大的容纳空间。
示例性地,图21中净空区域111在第一方向L2上的宽度为图20中净空区域111在第一方向L2上的宽度的二分之一,即图21中净空区域111的尺寸缩减至图20中净空区域111的尺寸的50%,但图21中所示的结构,依然能够给实现天线的辐射性能。
具体地,在实际应用场景中,第一辐射体131和第二辐射体132可以为图22和图23所示的结构,其中,第一辐射体131可以包括第一辐射枝节1311,第二辐射体132可以包括第三辐射枝节1321。此时,参见图24和图25所示,第一横向枝节142与第一辐射枝节1311在电路板的厚度方向L1上可以形成耦合间隙,第二横向枝节143与第三辐射枝节1321在电路板的厚度方向L1上可以形成耦合间隙。

同样,纵向枝节141在电路板的厚度方向L1上的高度可以小于等于λ/4,其中,λ可以为最小谐振频段的中心频点对应的波长。在一些实施例中,纵向枝节141在电路板的厚度方向L1上的高度可以为0.5mm-22.5mm。通过调节纵向枝节141在电路板的厚度方向L1上的高度,能够改变天线以及电路板110在水平方向及垂直方向上的电流分布比,从而能够有效调控天线的方向图,例如能够对方向图辐射弱场区进行补偿。参见图29至图32所示,当纵向枝节141在电路板的厚度方向L1上的高度从1.5mm增加到13.5mm时,水平方向上的电流强度明显增强,从而能够补偿天线在水平方向上的方向图凹点,使得天线的方向性系数从4.7dBi降低至3.4dBi。
