Description

Antenna Installation Method

【技术领域】【Technical field】

本发明涉及一种天线安装方法，尤其涉及一种将天线组装到电子设备上的天线安装方法。The invention relates to an antenna installation method, in particular to an antenna installation method for assembling an antenna on an electronic device.

【背景技术】【Background technique】

随着通信技术的发展，尤其是无线局域网络(Wireless Local AreaNetwork，WLAN)的高速发展，越来越多的笔记本电脑上装设有用以发射及接收讯号的天线，从而具备在无线局域网络内通信的功能。通常，笔记本电脑包括显示器、主机和转轴，其中转轴用来连接显示器及主机，从而使显示器相对于主机可旋转地处于开、合状态。英特尔2000年第二季技术期刊(Intel Technology Journal Q2，2000)的“将蓝牙技术整合到移动产品中(Integrat ing Bluetooth Technology into Mobile Products)”中建议采用三种方式将天线安装到笔记本电脑上。第一种方式是：将天线组装在显示器的上边缘，通常细长天线(例如半波偶极天线)采用这种安装方式。安装在该位置的天线可以隐藏在显示器的边缘。然而，这种安装方式有两大缺点：当显示器在开、合位置变换时，会导致天线的辐射极性变化90度；当显示器被制造的越来越薄时，将很难为天线提供收容空间。第二种方式是将杆状天线组装到主机侧边，采用该种方式安装的天线不会随显示器的开、合发生变化，但天线通常处于暴露状态，容易受到外界因素的损坏。第三种方式是将外形扁平的天线与无线网络卡固定组合在一起，二者一同组装在电脑内部，从而有效保护天线不受外界因素影响。然而，这种安装方式的缺点是当天线或无线网络卡其中之一被损坏时，只能更换整个组合，造成资源浪费。With the development of communication technology, especially the rapid development of WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN), more and more notebook computers are equipped with antennas for transmitting and receiving signals, so as to have the ability to communicate in WLAN. Function. Generally, a notebook computer includes a display, a host and a hinge, wherein the hinge is used to connect the monitor and the host so that the display can be rotatably opened and closed relative to the host. Intel Technology Journal Q2, 2000 "Integrating Bluetooth Technology into Mobile Products" suggests three ways to install the antenna on a laptop. The first way is: assemble the antenna on the upper edge of the display, usually a long and thin antenna (such as a half-wave dipole antenna) adopts this installation method. Antennas installed in this location can be hidden by the edge of the display. However, this installation method has two major disadvantages: when the display is switched between the open and closed positions, it will cause the radiation polarity of the antenna to change by 90 degrees; when the display is made thinner and thinner, it will be difficult to provide a housing space for the antenna . The second way is to assemble the rod antenna to the side of the host. The antenna installed in this way will not change with the opening and closing of the display, but the antenna is usually exposed and easily damaged by external factors. The third way is to fixedly combine the flat antenna with the wireless network card, and the two are assembled together inside the computer, so as to effectively protect the antenna from external factors. However, the disadvantage of this installation method is that when one of the antenna or the wireless network card is damaged, only the entire combination can be replaced, resulting in a waste of resources.

【发明内容】【Content of invention】

本发明的目的在于提供一种既能有效保护天线不受外界损坏又便于更换的天线安装方法。The object of the present invention is to provide an antenna installation method that can effectively protect the antenna from external damage and facilitate replacement.

本发明的技术方案是这样实现的，所述天线安装方法包括：1)提供电子设备，其中电子设备包括扩展装置和抽取盒，抽取盒设置有用以安装扩展装置的收容空间和安装扩展装置后在抽取盒内形成的空余空间；2)提供天线单元，其中天线单元包括天线本体；3)将天线本体组装在所述抽取盒的空余空间内。The technical solution of the present invention is achieved in that the antenna installation method includes: 1) providing electronic equipment, wherein the electronic equipment includes an extension device and an extraction box, the extraction box is provided with a storage space for installing the extension device and after the extension device is installed, 2) providing an antenna unit, wherein the antenna unit includes an antenna body; 3) assembling the antenna body in the vacant space of the extraction box.

相较于现有技术，由于本发明天线安装方法充分利用抽取盒的空余空间来收容天线本体，从而实现一种既能有效保护天线本体不受外界损坏又便于更换的天线安装方法。Compared with the prior art, since the antenna installation method of the present invention makes full use of the free space of the drawer box to accommodate the antenna body, an antenna installation method that can effectively protect the antenna body from external damage and is easy to replace is realized.
