Abstract

To achieve the above objectives, a wireless communication terminal of the present invention comprises: a case having a bent hole formed in one side thereof; an antenna carrier disposed in the case such that a side thereof faces the bent hole, and including a duct passing through one side and the other side thereof; a fan disposed on the other side of the antenna carrier; and an antenna disposed on the antenna carrier and the top surface of the fan and having an antenna pattern for transmitting and receiving wireless signals, wherein the wireless communication terminal has the antenna and a heat dissipating structure disposed in proximity such that one member performs two or more functions, so as to provide a wireless communication terminal making good use of internal space.

Claims (20)

1. A wireless communication terminal, comprising:

a case having a vent hole formed on one side;

an antenna carrier being positioned to have one side face into the vent hole on an inner side of the case and including a duct passing through one side and another side thereof;

a fan being positioned on another side of the antenna carrier; and

an antenna having an antenna pattern positioned on upper surfaces of the antenna carrier and the fan and transmitting and receiving radio signals.

2. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:

a heat sink being positioned between the antenna carrier and the fan and including a plurality of pins being extended from the antenna carrier and toward the fan; and

a heat pipe having one end contacting the heat sink and another end contacting a heat-generating assembly part, and

wherein the antenna simultaneously covers the upper surface of the antenna carrier and the upper surface of the heat pipe.

3. The wireless communication terminal of claim 2 , wherein the antenna pattern includes a radiating part, a feeding part, and a grounding part, and wherein the radiating part is fixed to the upper surface of the antenna carrier.

4. The wireless communication terminal of claim 3 , wherein a shape of the upper surface of the antenna carrier corresponds to a shape of the radiating part.

5. The wireless communication terminal of claim 3 , wherein the heat pipe is configured of a metallic material, and

wherein the grounding part of the antenna pattern contacts the heat pipe.

6. The wireless communication terminal of claim 3 , further comprising:

a printed circuit board having the fan fixed thereto, and

wherein the feeding part is bent so as to be electrically connected to the printed circuit board.

7. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein a hollow space is formed toward one end and another end within the heat pipe, and wherein the hollow space is filled with a refrigerant carrying out phase change from liquid to vapor within a driving temperature range of the wireless communication terminal.

8. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the antenna includes an adhesive tape having an adherent deposited thereon.

9. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the case comprises a first case having a keypad positioned thereon and a second case having a display positioned thereon, and

wherein the vent hole is formed on one side surface of the first case.
