The invention discloses a keyboard structure with an antenna function. The keyboard structure with the antenna function comprises a keyboard unit and an antenna unit, wherein the keyboard unit is provided with a keyboard signal circuit board, at least one keyboard frame and a plurality of press components, wherein the at least one keyboard frame is arranged on the keyboard signal circuit board; the plurality of press components are movably arranged on the keyboard signal circuit board; the at least one keyboard frame is provided with a frame body and a plurality of through holes penetrating the frame body; and the press components respectively correspond to the through holes. The antenna unit is provided with at least one metal circuit arranged on the frame body. Because the using length of a signal transmission line which is electrically connected between the at least one metal circuit and a wireless antenna module can be greatly shortened, better wireless communication quality of the keyboard structure with the antenna function can be achieved by reducing insertion loss, and the manufacturing cost and the manufacturing labor hour of the keyboard structure with the antenna function can be effectively reduced.
Keyboard structure with antenna function
The present invention relates to a kind of keyboard structure, particularly relate to a kind of keyboard structure with antenna function.
For example, in wireless telecommunication system (mobile computer or mobile phone), antenna is a kind of window that is used for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic wave energy, and the position that the mode of Antenna Design and antenna are built in system all can change its antenna patterns illustrated, and and then affect the communication quality of wireless signal, the even good corrupt manufacturing cost that also greatly affects whole system of antenna setting.
Refer to shown in Fig. 1, it shows the perspective view of the concealed antenna configuration of existing mobile computer.General mobile computer 1a comprises: a LCD Panel 10a and body module 11a two parts, each of about upper end that wherein concealed antenna 12a is configured in this LCD Panel 10a symmetrically, to reach the effect of antenna diversity (Antenna Diversity).This concealed antenna 12a is used high frequency coaxial line (RF Coaxial Cable) 13a to be used as feed-in line, so that the electrical signal of high frequency is able to be transmitted between the wireless antenna module 14a in this body module 11a at this concealed antenna 12a and, and a shielding aluminium foil 15a and this concealed antenna 12a are electrically connected, in order to improve the radiation efficiency of antenna.
Yet the result of with above-mentioned antenna configuration high frequency coaxial line 13a, carrying out signal transmission has produced following shortcoming:
1, the increase of insertion loss (Insertion Loss): the high frequency coaxial line that quality is better is on the market measured, in the situation that its length is 100 centimeters, when the signal frequency is 2.4GHz, its insertion loss reaches 2.9Db; When the signal frequency is 5GHz, its insertion loss reaches 4.7dB.Generally speaking, in mobile computer, use the length of high frequency coaxial line about 20cm to 90cm left and right, therefore use the high frequency coaxial line to do while linking, the loss that will produce 0.58dB to 2.61dB for the signal of 2.4GHz; And, for the signal of 5GHz, the loss caused is more up to 0.94dB to 4.23dB.Due to the impact of this insertion loss, make the necessary centralization of design of antenna patterns illustrated to promote the antenna gain value, and must maintain certain transmission range.But so just can produce the problem that angle of radiation is dwindled, increase at the communication dead angle, and then reduce whole communication quality.
2, the increase of cost of manufacture: manufacture the general assessment of industry according to antenna, in the antenna production cost, above-mentioned high frequency coaxial line accounts for 50% proportion, that is to say main the spending on the high frequency coaxial line of manufacturing cost of antenna.On the other hand, when system assembles, for fixing high frequency coaxial line, must on mechanism design, do relevant measure, this also can increase extra cost.Such as: fixedly aluminium foil stator etc. is shielded in the hook of high frequency coaxial line and making, and threading man-hour and location during this external assembling also can promote the cost of assembling man-hour.
Therefore, the present invention proposes a kind of reasonable in design and effectively improve the keyboard structure with antenna function of above-mentioned disappearance.
Technical matters to be solved by this invention, be to provide a kind of keyboard structure with antenna function, and it can be used to solve the disappearance of " in prior art, must use longer high frequency coaxial line and cause insertion loss and cost of manufacture increase ".
In order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, according to wherein a kind of scheme of the present invention, provide a kind of keyboard structure with antenna function, it comprises: a keyboard unit and an antenna element.Wherein, this keyboard unit has a keyboard signal circuit board, at least one keyboard frame on this keyboard signal circuit board, and a plurality of press elements that are arranged on movably on this keyboard signal circuit board of being arranged on, wherein above-mentioned at least one keyboard frame has a frame body and a plurality of through hole that runs through this frame body, and these press elements correspond respectively to these through holes.This antenna element is the metallic circuit be arranged on this frame body.
In order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, according to wherein a kind of scheme of the present invention, provide a kind of keyboard structure with antenna function, it comprises: a keyboard unit and an antenna element.Wherein, this keyboard unit has a keyboard signal circuit board, at least one keyboard frame on this keyboard signal circuit board, and a plurality of through this keyboard frame and be arranged on movably the press element on this keyboard signal circuit board that is arranged on.This antenna element has at least one metallic circuit be arranged on this keyboard frame.
Therefore, beneficial effect of the present invention is: because the wireless antenna module is arranged at the below of this keyboard unit usually, so when above-mentioned at least one metallic circuit direct forming during in this keyboard frame, the distance of above-mentioned at least one metallic circuit and wireless antenna module can reach the shortest, and the use length that therefore is electrically connected at the signal transmission line between above-mentioned at least one metallic circuit and wireless antenna module can shorten greatly.By this, the present invention not only can be by reducing insertion loss to obtain preferably wireless telecommunications quality, and cost of manufacture of the present invention and making also can effectively reduce man-hour.
