Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a battery, an antenna, a speaker module, and a heat sink. The battery, the antenna, the speaker module, and the heat sink are all disposed in a cavity formed by the housing. The battery and the speaker module are disposed adjacent to each other. A gap exists between the battery and the speaker module. The antenna is disposed on a periphery of a region where the battery and the speaker module are located. The heat sink is disposed on the speaker module and the battery, and an opening is disposed on the heat sink, where the opening is opposite to the gap.

Claims (16)

1. An electronic device, comprising a housing, a battery, an antenna, a speaker module, and a heat sink, wherein:

the battery, the antenna, the speaker module, and the heat sink are all disposed in a cavity formed by the housing;

the battery and the speaker module are disposed adjacent to each other, a battery-speaker gap exists between the battery and the speaker module;

the antenna is disposed on a periphery of a region where the battery and the speaker module are located; and

the heat sink is disposed on the speaker module and the battery, wherein the heat sink includes a heat-sink opening, and the heat-sink opening is opposite to the battery-speaker gap.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the speaker module comprises a steel sheet and a magnetic isolation sheet, a first gap is formed between the magnetic isolation sheet and the battery, and a first opening on the heat sink is disposed at a position opposite to the first gap.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein a second gap is formed between the steel sheet and the battery, and a second opening on the heat sink is disposed at a position opposite to the second gap.

4. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein an insulation layer is disposed between the magnetic isolation sheet and the heat sink.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the insulation layer is a thermal insulating layer.

6. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein a thickness of the insulation layer is not less than 0.1 mm.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat sink is a graphite heat sink.

8. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the magnetic isolation sheet is suspended above a sound cavity of the speaker module.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a size of the heat-sink opening is configured according to a position for disposing the antenna.

10. The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the antenna comprises a high-frequency antenna, an intermediate-frequency antenna, and a low-frequency antenna, wherein:

the high-frequency antenna and the intermediate-frequency antenna are disposed on a first side of the speaker module, wherein the first side is a side far away from the battery; and

the low-frequency antenna is disposed on a second side, wherein the second side is adjacent to the first side.
