Abstract

An electronic device includes: a housing having an accommodation cavity, a circuit board being arranged in the accommodation cavity; a screen holder coupled to the housing and comprising at least one antenna radiator electrically coupled to the circuit board to receive and/or transmit signals; and a screen with an edge arranged on the screen holder.

Claims (44)

1 . An electronic device, comprising:

an integrally molded ceramic housing having an accommodation cavity, a circuit board being positioned in the accommodation cavity;

a screen; and

a screen holder coupled to the housing and shaped as a hollow frame having an open structure to hold the screen, an edge of the screen being positioned on the screen holder,

wherein the screen holder comprises at least one antenna radiator electrically coupled to the circuit board to receive and/or transmit signals; and

wherein a cross section of the screen holder comprises an inwardly extending portion, an intermediate connecting portion, and an outwardly extending portion, the inwardly extending portion being an innermost portion of the screen holder; and the inwardly extending portion and the outwardly extending portion both extend along a thickness direction of the electronic device;

wherein a gap exists between an edge of the housing and the edge of the screen and has a size of no more than 1.2 mm;

the inwardly extending portion and the intermediate connecting portion are in the accommodation cavity, and an end of the outwardly extending portion away from the intermediate connecting portion passes through the gap,

the inwardly extending portion and the outwardly extending portion extend from the intermediate connecting portion in opposite directions, respectively, so that the inwardly extending portion and the outwardly extending portion are arranged on different sides of the intermediate connecting portion in the thickness direction of the electronic device,

the inwardly extending portion is T-shaped, and

the outwardly extending portion has a first step surface and a second step surface, the edge of the housing supports the first step surface while the second step surface supports the edge of the screen, and the first step surface and the second step surface are parallel to each other.

2 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein:

a main part is arranged within the accommodation cavity; and

the circuit board is fixed to a first side of the main part, the screen is located on a second side of the main part, and the screen holder surrounds the main part.

3 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the inwardly extending portion is electrically coupled to the circuit board, two ends of the intermediate connecting portion are coupled to the inwardly extending portion and the outwardly extending portion correspondingly, and the outwardly extending portion passes through the gap and supports the edge of the screen.

4 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the screen holder comprises a plurality of antenna radiators, each of the antenna radiators is electrically coupled to the circuit board, and two or more of the antenna radiators have different signal frequency bands.

5 . The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the plurality of antenna radiators are spaced apart by insulators.

6 . The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein each of the insulators has a width less than or equal to 2 mm.

7 . The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein a signal band of the two or more of the antenna radiators is a 2G frequency band; a signal band of the two or more of the antenna radiators is a 3G frequency band; a signal band of the two or more of the antenna radiators is a 4G frequency band; and a signal band of the two or more of the antenna radiators is a 5G frequency band.

8 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a UWB antenna is arranged on an inner wall of the housing, and the UWB antenna is electrically coupled to the circuit board.

9 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein each antenna radiator is electrically coupled to the circuit board by a feeder elastic sheet.

10 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a plastic layer is attached to an inner surface of the housing.

11 . The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein an edge of the plastic layer is formed with a support platform, and the support platform supports the screen holder.

12 . The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein a waterproof adhesive layer is arranged between the support platform and the screen holder.

13 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of antenna radiators are arranged around the screen using a laser-direct-structuring process.

14 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the screen holder is made of plastic and metal materials.

15 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a main part acts as the ground, and is electrically coupled to the circuit board and the at least one antenna radiator.

16 . An electronic device, comprising:

an integrally molded ceramic housing having an accommodation cavity, a circuit board being positioned in the accommodation cavity;

a screen; and

a screen holder coupled to the housing and shaped as a hollow frame having an open structure to hold the screen, an edge of the screen being positioned on the screen holder,

wherein the screen holder comprises at least one antenna radiator electrically coupled to the circuit board to receive and/or transmit signals; and

wherein a cross section of the screen holder comprises an inwardly extending portion, an intermediate connecting portion, and an outwardly extending portion, the inwardly extending portion being an innermost portion of the screen holder; and the inwardly extending portion and the outwardly extending portion both extend along a thickness direction of the electronic device;

wherein a gap exists between an edge of the housing and the edge of the screen and has a size of no more than 1.2 mm;

the inwardly extending portion and the intermediate connecting portion are in the accommodation cavity, and an end of the outwardly extending portion away from the intermediate connecting portion passes through the gap,

the inwardly extending portion and the outwardly extending portion extend from the intermediate connecting portion in directions facing away from each other, respectively,

wherein the screen holder comprises a plurality of antenna radiators, each of the antenna radiators is electrically coupled to the circuit board, and two or more of the antenna radiators have different signal frequency bands,

wherein the plurality of antenna radiators are spaced apart by insulators,

wherein each of the insulators has a width less than or equal to 2 mm,

wherein a signal band of the two or more of the antenna radiators is a 2G frequency band; a signal band of the two or more of the antenna radiators is a 3G frequency band; a signal band of the two or more of the antenna radiators is a 4G frequency band; and a signal band of the two or more of the antenna radiators is a 5G frequency band,

wherein each antenna radiator is electrically coupled to the circuit board by a feeder elastic sheet,

the inwardly extending portion is T-shaped, and

the outwardly extending portion has a first step surface and a second step surface, the edge of the housing supports the first step surface while the second step surface supports the edge of the screen, and the first step surface and the second step surface are parallel to each other.
